I got an invite to Google Wave and accepted it. I logged in successfully, but didn’t know how to proceed further. I have to find some time to read the tutorials to start using it. Lot of features are still under construction, so I’m not sure what is available and what is not. :)

Bulk upload in Google Docs

Google Docs has introduced some new features that include features I wanted. The new features include uploading multiple files at the same time (by pressing Shift or Ctrl key and selecting multiple files), uploading those files to a specific folder and sharing an entire folder with another user.

Files to be uploaded

I have lots of documents I wanted to upload to Google Docs from my local folder, so I can read them wherever I am, but loading one by one was a pain. This kept me from loading them online. I also wanted to load those documents to a particular folder I created under Google Docs and that too was a manual process. With the new features, my job was made easier. I started uploading the documents, but there is one problem. Some of the documents I uploaded got server error and didn’t go through. It didn’t say what the error was. Most of those are Word document or text files (see screenshots). That’s gonna be a problem because it’s not easy to figure out which made through and which didn’t when I upload 100s of files.
