08/14/2023, 4:43 PMHas anyone come across a package (or other) for use in uploading a bunch of files to an Umbraco site? Think of it like an FTP dump, but through the Umbraco CMS. I found something(ish) that I was looking for but it's fairly old - https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/file-manager/
