I'd definitely like that, but: this is currently hard to implement, and would require significant file handling/cryptography changes.

The current implementation (with a ZIP archive) was likely chosen because it was easy to implement on top of the single-file upload system.

There are some other problems when implementing such a system:

  • Browsers don't properly support initiating multiple downloads
  • Download limits are weird with multiple files

A nice middle ground could be to handle ZIP extracting within the browser itself, though I don't know how good such thing will work.

I don't want to go through the trouble to implement this because I sadly don't have time for it.

Closing this because I won't be implementing this due to lack of time and limited browser support.

Feel free to open it again if new ideas arise, or if someone wants to work on this.

@timvisee We could reopen this and use the native navigator.share() method:

We would probably need to limit this in size this the files would need to be downloaded to RAM first.
