I’ve just added support for uploading multiple files to the My Documents and My Shared Documents web parts. It’s a pretty simple implementation – if you click on Upload Multiple Documents

then you get given the option to upload up to 5 documents at a time.

Nice and simple.

If you are looking to upload more documents than that, then really you probably ought to be using SharePoint itself as the document repository. I always look on these web parts as a step on the way to fully using SharePoint, not as a long-term solution.

However, if you really need to upload many files, just zip them up, upload and unpack them when you are next in school/work.

I’ve finally released the long-awaited My Shared Documents Web Part. This is a companion product to My Documents, but instead of allowing access to the user’s home folder, it allows access to file shares on the network through SharePoint. It is styled just like a normal document library and respects the NTLM permissions that are set on the files.
