Drag-and-drop is the quickest way to get individual files, a group of files, or a whole local folder tree into the right place in your library.

Before you drop

• As you drag, Web shows a dashed outline over the main content area.

• You can drag individual files, several files, or a local folder from your computer.

• Each individual file must be 5 GB or smaller, and your account needs enough storage remaining. Free includes 2 GB; Pro includes 3 TB.

• You can drop any supported file type; see What file types does Traklist support? for the full list. Playback and audio analysis still apply only to audio files.

• Close Search before you drop. While Search is open, Traklist deliberately ignores file drops.

Drop to the right place

1. Open the place where you want the files to land.

2. Drag the files or folder from your computer into Traklist.

3. Release the pointer in the main content area, or directly on a folder row.

Where the drop lands:

• Home or My Library — a drop in the main content area sends files to My Library.

• An open folder — a drop in the main content area sends files to that folder.

• Any folder row — a direct drop sends files to that folder, even when a different folder is open.

• The left navigation — drops there do not start an upload.

Drag a folder

Drop a local folder when you want Traklist to preserve its organization.

• Traklist recreates the selected folder and every subfolder that contains at least one dropped file.

• Completely empty local folders are not included, because they contain no uploaded files.

• Files whose names start with a period (.) are skipped.

• The Uploads tray shows each created folder and subfolder as it is prepared, then lists its files beneath it.

• Loose files dropped into an existing folder stay loose in that destination. They are not put into a new folder automatically.

Watch upload progress

• Traklist opens the Uploads tray after you drop.

• A large folder drop can take a moment to appear in the tray while Traklist reads the folder structure.

• Each eligible file shows upload progress, then can show Processing once the transfer reaches 100%.

• Wait for the file row to say Uploaded to followed by its destination. Transferring the file and finishing processing are separate steps.

• Upload Complete means the current upload session has finished. Check the Uploads tray for any skipped, canceled, aborted, or failed files.

• Use Cancel on an active file to stop that file. Use Cancel [number] to stop all incomplete uploads in the session; Traklist asks you to confirm first.

• While uploads are active, Web asks for confirmation if you refresh, close the tab, close the window, or leave the site.

Useful tips

• Open the destination folder before you drag. That makes a main-area drop land there without an extra move.

• Drop directly onto a folder row when you want to keep working in the current view but send the files elsewhere.

• Drag the whole project folder when its internal structure matters. Don't rebuild it file by file.

• Use Upload files from your device instead when you want to browse for a destination before selecting files.

Troubleshooting

• If a drop is ignored, close Search, then drop into the main content area or directly onto a folder row.

• A file that fails to transfer shows This file has failed to upload. Choose Retry on that file row. You can also retry an item you canceled or whose transfer was aborted.

• Unsupported file types are marked as skipped and cannot be retried until you choose a supported file.

• A file over 5 GB is marked as skipped and cannot be retried unless you use a smaller file.

• If you see Storage full, free space or upgrade your plan, then try the drop again.

• For upload destinations, statuses, and retry steps in general, see Upload files from your device.
