Sending 10 photos, a batch of PDF worksheets, or several design assets one-by-one is tedious for both the sender and the receiver. RunDrop's Batch File Upload engine allows you to bundle multiple files into a single transfer. Recipients can preview each file, download specific files, or grab everything bundled as a neat ZIP file with one click.
Key Features of Batch File Sharing
Multi-File Drag & Drop
Drag multiple files or folders directly into the upload area. RunDrop processes the entire batch seamlessly.
1-Click Download as ZIP
Receivers do not have to click 20 separate download buttons. A single click packages and downloads all items as a clean ZIP archive.
Smooth Chunked Uploads
Large files upload in reliable small pieces. If your Wi-Fi flickers, the upload resumes right where it left off without starting over.
Guest Sharing With No Account
You and your recipients do not need to register or verify email addresses to send and download files.
Step-by-Step: Sending a Batch of Files
Select Batch File Uploads
Click on the Batch File Uploads tab on the RunDrop home page.
Drag & Drop Your Files
Drop your documents, photos, audio tracks, or archives into the dropzone. You will see the total file count and size displayed clearly.
Configure Security (Optional)
Add a password if the files contain personal or confidential information, or set a download limit (for example, self-destruct after 2 downloads).
Share the Code
Once uploaded, copy your 8-character code or show the QR code. The receiver can enter the code on any device to view and download the batch.
If transferring very large zip files across devices on the same desk, consider pairing batch uploads with the Local Wi-Fi toggle for rapid direct local throughput.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the recipient download only one file from the batch?
Yes. The download portal lists every individual file with its size, allowing the receiver to download single files or click "Download as ZIP" for all of them.
How long are uploaded files stored?
Files remain accessible for your chosen expiration period (such as 3 hours for free guest shares, or up to 7 days for upgraded accounts). After that, files are permanently deleted.
