We added many of the new types due to requests you made on the Corvid forum.
If you would like to request support for additional types, please mention them in the comment section below.

By the way, we are well aware of the need to accept Archive file types (ZIP, RAR etc.) with the Upload Button, and are working on it.

Happy Uploading!

ZIP & RAR will be a huge help. Thank you!

Eyal, any chance of getting kind of a progress or % uploaded value to display to the user while files are being uploaded via the upload button. For some bigger files, user has to just stare at the screen, would add to the user experience to have this function.

Perhaps something like: each time the % uploaded crosses a 10% mark it will communicate with the page.

$w.onReady(function () {
     $w("#uploadButton1").onMessage( (event) => {
          let percentageUploaded = event.value;
     });
});

So each file upload would throw a total of 10 events, one each time the upload percentage crosses 10% mark.

Because it think it will be too much (and unnecessary) for you guys to build to communicate the actual percentage uploaded in real time. I don’t think real time is needed but at-least something to show the progress of the upload.

It would also be nice to have the ability to upload multiple files at one time.

Agreed. Definitely would be a necessary & great feature to have.

Update :
Following this request , you can now upload iCalendar files to the Media Manager. Accepted extensions: ICS , ICAL , ICALENDAR , IFB .

Visitors can upload these files with an Upload Button configured to accept a Document.
