I'm using a self hosted Active Collab 5 setup and am trying to upload multiple files via /upload-files. I am sending a multipart form POST with each part name named attachment_1, attachment_2 and so on.

Unfortunately only the first file in my request named attachment_1 is being used and returns the file code response.

What is the correct way to upload multiple files through the API (without the SDK - our application is using Ruby ond Rails) at once?

Active Collab 5 does not accept multiple file uploads in a single request. To upload multiple files, please make multiple requests.

Keys that Active Collab checks are file or attachment_1.

  • thanks for the response. OK, we already built our interface that way. You should consider updating your API documentation then, because https://developers.activecollab.com/api-documentation/v1/projects/elements/files/files.html states: `There is also a way to upload a batch of files. First, lets upload them:` – Sebastian Tänzer Oct 04 '16 at 19:31
  • Nearly five years later, I've run into this issue with our integration. The documentation is sorely in need of updating if multiple file uploads in a single request are not possible. – T Paone Jun 07 '21 at 14:17
