Importing Zip Archives

You can upload multiple files at once using the Zip Import tool.  This can significantly cut down on the time it takes to upload many files such as images for a slideshow or pdfs.

Note: Before creating the zip archive rename all files so they don't include spaces.  SPACES ARE NOT WEB SAFE.
