Upload one or more supported files from your computer or iPhone into My Library or a folder.
Before you upload
Upload is available on Free and Pro. Free includes 2 GB of storage; Pro includes 3 TB.
Each file must be 5 GB or smaller, and your account needs enough storage remaining.
You need an internet connection. On iPhone, Upload is unavailable while the app is offline.
Traklist supports more than 130 file types across audio, DAW projects, presets, MIDI, images, documents, spreadsheets, text files, and archives.
Choose the destination
The place you start from decides whether Traklist asks where files should go.
Inside a folder — Web and iPhone upload straight into that folder. No picker.
Not in a folder — after you select files with Create New or an empty-view Upload button, a destination picker opens: on Web whenever no folder is open, on iPhone when you start from My Library. The picker supports search and includes Create Folder.
Drag and drop on Web is different — a drop in the main content area goes to the open folder, or to My Library when no folder is open. It never asks.
Note — If the destination already has an item with the same name, Traklist keeps both and adds a number to the new upload's name. Nothing is overwritten.
Upload files on Web
From the Create New button
Choose Create New.
Choose Upload Files.
Select one or more supported files from your computer.
If the destination picker opens, choose My Library or a folder. You can search for a folder or choose Create Folder.
Choose Upload.
From an empty view
Empty Home, Recently Created, My Library, and folder views include an Upload button. Empty folder views also include Import from Dropbox. Empty Recently Played, Recordings, Favorites, and Shared views do not show Upload.
Drag and drop
Drag files or a local folder into the main content area to upload into the open folder, or into My Library when no folder is open.
Dropping on Home works too, those files upload into My Library.
Drag files or a local folder directly onto any Traklist folder to make that folder the destination.
Close Search before dropping. Web ignores drops while the Search overlay is open, and ignores drops over the side navigation.
Upload a folder
Choose Create New, then Upload Folder.
Select a local folder.
Choose the Traklist destination if prompted.
Traklist recreates the folder and every subfolder on the path to at least one uploaded file.
Note — Folder uploads skip files whose names begin with a period, and completely empty local folders are not recreated, because the browser provides no path for them.
Upload files on iPhone
Tap Create New.
Choose Upload.
Select one or more supported files in the document picker.
If you started from My Library, choose My Library or a folder on the destination screen. You can search or choose Create Folder.
Choose Upload. If you started inside a folder, the files upload there with no destination screen.
Tip — Press and hold Create New to open Record directly.
iPhone does not have Upload Folder or drag-and-drop upload. If a file is a folder-style package, compress it as a .zip, then upload the ZIP.
You can also send supported files from Files or another app through the iOS Share Sheet. See Upload with the iPhone Share Sheet for the complete flow.
Watch upload progress
On Web, follow the Uploads tray. On iPhone, follow the file row in the destination you chose.
The visible state changes as Traklist uploads and prepares the file. See Understand uploading, importing, and processing statuses for every state and the Cancel, Retry, Export, Delete, and Share actions on each surface.
Keep the Web tab open while uploads remain. Closing or reloading the tab, or leaving the site, triggers the browser's warning. Moving around inside the Web app does not.
Supported does not always mean previewable
A supported file can be stored, organized, shared, and downloaded even when Traklist cannot display its contents.
Web and iPhone both play supported audio.
Web previews supported images, PDFs, and plain-text files. Everything else gets a file view with its icon, metadata, sharing, and download actions.
iPhone uses its native viewer for supported images and documents once upload completes. Archives, DAW projects, MIDI files, and presets do not get a content preview.
Audio processing results
For supported audio, Traklist can prepare or calculate duration, waveform, integrated loudness (LUFS), sample rate, bit depth, BPM, key, and scale.
Note — BPM, key, and scale analysis is skipped for audio longer than 20 minutes. Other results can still appear.
Artwork applied during upload
There is no per-upload artwork prompt. Folder Artwork Assignment controls automatic artwork for audio files.
On Web — open Settings, choose Display, then Folder Artwork Assignment.
On iPhone — open your profile from Home, choose Settings, then Folder Artwork Assignment.
Match Folder
Loose audio uploaded into a folder matches that folder's default or custom artwork. During a Web folder upload, each created folder gets its own default artwork, and the audio inside it matches its folder.
Vary Per File
Audio files alternate default artwork instead of sharing one folder image. Audio uploaded to My Library gets fresh default artwork. Non-audio files use their file icon or preview.
How Web and iPhone differ
Web has Upload Files, Upload Folder, drag-and-drop upload, and folder-targeted drops.
iPhone has multi-file selection and the iOS Share Sheet, but not Upload Folder or folder-style packages.
Web shows an Uploads tray. iPhone shows progress and failures on the file row and in the item's action menu.
The native app is supported on iPhone, not iPad.
Useful tips
Open the destination folder before starting. Both surfaces use the open folder automatically, so you skip the picker.
On Web, drop files directly onto a folder when you already know where they belong.
Select multiple files in one pass instead of starting a separate upload for each.
Use Upload Folder on Web to preserve a project's subfolder hierarchy.
Keep related audio, DAW projects, presets, MIDI, images, documents, and archives together, even when some have no in-app preview.
Troubleshooting
If a file is unavailable in the picker or rejected, check its extension and size against What file types does Traklist support? and Upload limits and filename rules.
On iPhone, compress a folder-style package as a .zip, then upload the ZIP.
If Web ignores a drag, close Search and drop into the main content area or onto a folder — not over the side navigation.
If Traklist reports storage is full, remove files or upgrade before retrying. Free includes 2 GB; Pro includes 3 TB.
For a failed Web upload, choose Retry in the Uploads tray. On iPhone, choose Retry beside Sync Failed on the file row, or open the item's action menu and choose Retry.
If an audio file has no BPM, key, or scale, confirm processing finished and check whether the audio is longer than 20 minutes.
