I don't see any limitation in the OC code, so it might be a limitation in Chrome's folder upload API.

[PVince81]

@SergioBertolinSG are you able to upload more than 100 files through drag and drop, but without using a folder ?

[SergioBertolinSG]

Yes, without a folder, all files are uploaded.

[PVince81]

Browser limitation, nothing we can do.

It was mentioned to me by someone else last week.

[vuRoland]

we've experienced the same 100 files limitation when uploading a folder + files and found that it was a bug in jquery.fileupload.js that is used in owncloud, currently. If you adjust the js file according to the info in this github commit, it works again as expected (>100 files in a folder with drag and drop in chrome)

Fix for Issue and jquery.fileupload.js bug 3181 - drag drop 100 file limit:
https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/commit/911dcf1f5bbfda877573fd4fb2b67dd47f225752

Ah! So it's not a limitation in Chromium.

Reopening to look into upgrading that library.

[PVince81]

maybe an opportunity to introduce bower + makefile in the files app

[tekGuy64]

Any word on resolving this bug? I have a client who has reported this problem as well.

[aguazul]

I'm surprised this is still an issue. Github cannot upload a folder that has more than 100 files? Strange...

This is really holding me back today...

[fshirzadi]

Still getting this error.

[oleteacher]

Yes, this is very discouraging. 100 files in a folder limitation is very small...

[tomycbf]

I have gotten the same message from github to upload code to my repository. Is there any method to resolve it? 100+ files are common in a real project. I don't know why github have such kind of limitation.

[PVince81]

Maybe github uses the same library like OC which has this limit.

Or the browser has a limit and the library needs special code to bypass it.

[PVince81]

Can someone try upgrading the jquery fileupload lib and see if it solves the issue ?
The code is here: https://github.com/owncloud/core/blob/master/apps/files/js/jquery.fileupload.js

This is likely to introduce a lot of new issues so will need full retesting of upload process, conflict dialog, etc.

[vfreex]

I just verified https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/27875.
With the new version of jquery.fileupload.js, I can drag and drop a folder with more than 100 files now.

[SergioBertolinSG]

Working fine in 10.0.2.

[jredfox]

This is an issue again I never had this issue before with chrome come back 1 month later try and updload modified source then it says too many files needs < 100

[UWGuLab]

experiencing same issue with Chrome

[jredfox]

I also tried microsoft edge and chrome it doesn't work it use to work with chrome

[SergioBertolinSG]

Are you using a server with version 10.0.2 ?

I am not seeing problems using chrome with current master.

[jredfox]

I am not using any server just github

[ghost]

It's annoying, but you can use git to manually do it 😄

[jredfox]

I tried the desktop version of github but, it wouldn't select an already registered repository

[nexjsystems]

Getting this error message today... I am trying to upload wordpress plugins to my repo but it STOPS at 100 files... This is an issue!! Is there a current workaround?

[tedstrauss]

Bump!

[PVince81]

are you all using OC 10.0.3 ? If not please upgrade. We already upgraded the jquery.fileupload library which is supposed to be able to bypass this and it was confirmed working.

[tedstrauss]

Good to know!!
I have been wary upgrading from v9 to v10, but this will make it a priority.

[jredfox]

is this github issues itself please fix github it's annoying it shows 287 then refuses to upload more then 100

[icuurd12b42]

Same issue over here. I just zipped my folder and uploaded the zip. will abandon git folders for all my projects in the futures. dont see the benefits of them in my case given I dont use the command prompt system, not will I ever... it's 2018, why are we still doing shit like it's the 70's

[patrickjahns]

@filo-paa and @icuurd12b42 - what ownCloud version are you using?

[naraphim]

Yoza! Thats a really poor design choice. Try designing a program that people want to use.

[PVince81]

There is no hard limit by design in ownCloud. The limitation is on the browser side. If the browser does not want to give the JS code more than 100 entries despite the fact that the user selected more, there is nothing that a JS dev can do about it.

[PVince81]

I have just tried the following steps locally:

1. Create a local folder "files-to-upload" and create 150 small text files in it
2. Open OC v10.0.9
3. Create a folder "test 1" and enter it
4. Click upload and select all files in "files-to-upload" => all 150 files uploaded
5. Create a folder "test 2" and enter it
6. From file manager, drag and drop all files from "files-to-upload" onto the OC files panel => all 150 files uploaded
7. Create a folder "test 3" and enter it
8. From file manager, drag and drop only the folder "files-to-upload" itself onto the OC files panel => all 150 files uploaded in folder

Tested with Chromium Version 67.0.3396.99 (openSUSE Build) (64-bit)

I've also done another quick test with Firefox 61.0.1 (64-bit) also on openSUSE: works as well.

Please make sure to upgrade your browsers and also use a recent OC 10 version.

Also make sure to refresh the page after upload. If then the other files appear then it could be a scrolling bug of some sorts, in which case please report separately with environment details.

[evchibo]

Also got the same error uploading files in a folder on chrome

[donqq]

Yowza, that’s a lot of files. Try again with fewer than 100 files.

[BlitzNY]

this problem still happening today !!!!!!!

[PVince81]

@BlitzNY any details about your setup ?

[JimmyRooster]

How could I upload my project, it only has 101 files. Tried it in Chrome and Edge, it just says

Yowza, that’s a lot of files. Try again with fewer than 100 files.

[mariomuja]

i have the same issue - cannot drag a folder with more than 100 files to the upload area of github

[SeokLeeUS]

this still persisting issue, i don't know how this is not fixed.

[PVince81]

see https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/19834#issuecomment-408359907, works for me.

if it doesn't for you, please state your OC version, browser, etc

[SergioBertolinSG]

@PVince81 I think they are talking about github instead of owncloud https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39716847/git-upload-project-full-site

I recommend to lock this conversation.

[PVince81]

@SergioBertolinSG right.

I'll lock this conversation now.

If anyone is having this issue with ownCloud 10.1 or later version, please open a new ticket and use the issue template
