When trying to upload multiple documents in Vector AI document storage there is a bug:
- All documents are selected and the CTA shows "Upload 3 Files"
- However once clicked, only one document is then actually uploaded.

Hey @Sebastian_Scott! Thanks for the report. I'm able to reproduce and am submitting a bug report for this internally. I'll update this topic when I have any new information to share.

No response here for 2 months- any updates on this?
When i click on "add document"
then it shows drag and drop files here
If you select more than 1 files for example file.pdf / file2.pdf, the 2nd file overwrites the first file!!!
and you end up with one document only - the 2nd one

This is also an issue I am experiencing. I have a directory of 1000 txt files and there is no way that I am aware of to upload all of them in one go. Neither in the Vector Storage nor in the Retool Storage

Just wanted to flag that I am having this issue and would love for a way to upload more than 5 documents at one time.
Using the UI to upload documents in to a Retool Vector it won't let me do more than 5 at once.
Is there a suggested alternative for this?
I have about 200 documents to upload.
this looks like a promising alternative, How to upload large text dataset to Vector - #2 by Oleksandr_Dovgopol
using a workflow to upload, but seems unnecessarily cumberson when there is a UI specifically for this
Hey @Nathan_Franklin! Thanks for reaching out.
The initial error described in the topic that you linked is likely the same reason we currently put a cap on the number of documents you can upload at once. When using Retool AI, there is a separate token rate limit of 1000000 per minute for vectorization.
I've reached out internally to confirm the above and to see if we might consider raising the cap and will let you know when I hear back. 
In the meantime, you might consider triggering a query from within a loop to automate the process of uploading a large number of documents.
Let me know if you have any additional questions about that!
