Desktop Media Uploader

Desktop Media Uploader is a handy little app that helps you upload multimedia items straight to your Umbraco site without any hassle. To get started, make sure you have the Desktop Media Uploader package installed on your site.

What is Umbraco?

Umbraco is an open-source content management system (CMS) that makes it super easy to publish content online and even on intranets. It’s built using C# and works best on Microsoft-based systems.

Easy File Uploads

Once you log in to the Desktop Media Uploader with your Umbraco user account, uploading files is as simple as drag-and-drop! Just grab the media files you want and drop them right into the uploader.

User Privileges Matter

Your security matters! The Desktop Media Uploader respects user privileges, which means you can only upload files to folders that you're allowed to access. Plus, if a file is too big for the server, it won’t even let you try to upload it. This way, you won't waste time on failed uploads.

The Upload Process

After you've added all your files to the queue, just hit the Upload button and watch them go live on your website!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're not using IIS7, keep in mind you'll need to set up a MIME type for the ".air" extension manually. You'll want it mapped to "application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip" so you can download the Desktop Media Uploader app smoothly.
