I was wondering what the uploader has been tested to? If someone was going to upload several GBs of photos would it be able to handle that? Several thousand files at once?

Hi Mike,
The file size is not related to the Upload functionality and the component itself can support any (cumulative) size.
As for the number of files uploaded at once - it depends pretty much on the browser and the user's hardware. When thousands of files are uploaded asynchronously, the browser will try to create a list of progress bars, which may impose a performance penalty and the browser may be unresponsive for a couple of seconds while rendering the new DOM elements. This is normal in such extreme cases.

I just tested ~1000 photos that were ~3MB each. It worked successfully and had pretty good performance. I do have 2 feature requests though:
1. Is there any way to give an overall progress bar? Example: "132 of 1000 files uploaded" with a nice progress bar.
2. Is there any way to make the file list scrollable? The page gets pretty long with 1000 files uploading.

Hi Mike,
The file list can be easily made scrollable with an overflow style and a (max-)height of your choice:
As for the overall progress bar, this is indeed something that we can add. I am logging this for future implementation.
