Uploading Files (Single & Multi)

Onlinedrive supports uploading files of all sizes. Here's how the upload system works.

Single File Upload

For files up to 100 MB, Onlinedrive uses a simple single-request upload:

1. Click Upload or drag-and-drop your file
2. The file is sent directly to your storage region
3. A progress bar shows the upload status
4. The file appears in your current folder when done

Multi-File Upload

You can upload multiple files at once:

1. Select multiple files in the file picker (hold Ctrl/Cmd to select multiple)
2. Or drag and drop several files at once
3. Each file uploads independently with its own progress indicator
4. Files appear as they complete

Large File Upload (Multipart)

Files larger than 100 MB are automatically uploaded in parts:

• The file is split into smaller parts
• Each part uploads independently
• If your connection drops, only the unfinished parts are sent again — the upload resumes rather than starting over
• This makes large uploads more reliable, especially on slower connections

You don't need to do anything special — Onlinedrive detects the file size and switches to a multi-part upload automatically.

Upload Restrictions

• Your upload must fit within your remaining storage quota
• A single file can be up to 5 GB on every plan
• The file is stored in the active workspace and current folder
• All common file types are supported
• File names are preserved as-is

Troubleshooting

• Upload stuck? Check your internet connection and try again
• Quota exceeded? Delete unwanted files or upgrade your plan
• Upload failed? Single files are limited to 5 GB — anything larger needs to be split before uploading
