Files that have to be uploaded can be small or huge – about several gigabytes in size. In such cases standard upload may fail, since browsers still cannot handle it properly. We slice the files in chunks and send them out one by one. You can then safely collect them on the server and combine into original file.
As a bonus this way you can overcome a server’s constraints on uploaded file sizes, if any.The plugin has a backend management panel where you can create unlimited number of multi-file uploaders, and use each customized instance using shortcodes, and project them for users to start gathering digital files from users into your website server. Administrator can place multiple multi-file uploaders in whatever location inside of his website; moreover, the plugin can be easily integrated into custom forms.
