Originally posted by **nmlsdev** May 27, 2023 **Describe the feature you'd like** As a MediaCMS System Administrator, I'd like to be able to recursively import media files from an existing directory on the OS. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Though it could be possible to script an API call looping over each file in an existing directory, it doesn't make sense if the media is already stored on the server itself. **Additional context** Information that could potentially be required for media to exist on the server could be asked for on the page before submitting the request for a directory scan, such as "user", "category", etc...

I'd be interested in seeing where this goes. One limitation with the current uploader is that with very large files on systems with slow I/O, the upload process can time out. I was thinking about trying to fix that, but if it's being outright replaced anyway, I'll probably end up waiting to do anything with that until the new system's in place.
