Modifying SharePoint upload settings with UploadZen.

UploadZen provides bulk folder and multiple file uploads, excellent ZIP capabilities, batch check-in / check-out, and more. UploadZen adds an Upload Multiple Files menu command to the Upload menu of all Document Libraries which makes it easy for your end users to upload files in bulk. UploadZen is compatible with SharePoint 2010 Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007.

Benefits

The out-of-the-box functionality for uploading multiple files to a SharePoint Document Library relies on an ActiveX control (requiring special end user Web browser security settings and/or confirmation dialogs), which is readily available without requiring further installation only on client computers that have at least one Microsoft Office application, Microsoft SharePoint or SharePoint Designer installed. Once you get the out-of-the-box ActiveX bulk-file upload control to work for all your users, you can only upload multiple files from a single directory: you cannot select files from various directories to bulk-upload in one go.

If SharePoint's out-of-the-box approach to bulk document uploads is too troublesome to get to work properly, or just not useful enough, for you or your users, UploadZen could prove to be a viable alternative. The solution package adds an Upload Multiple Files menu command to the Upload menu of all Document Libraries. Once you select the menu item, a ClickOnce Windows application is started right from the browser (no previous client-side installation required) that allows a user to select as many files as required from any drive connected to their own computer and bulk-upload those to the document library.
