Bulk upload

Hillebrt

I would like a feature to bulk upload image files of receipts from a folder

Hi @Hillebrt you can do this already by dragging and dropping the contents of the folder into Expensify!

We did have the ability to bulk-upload like you mention, a long time ago, but that feature was deprecated and we are unlikely to bring it back in that same form.

Yes. I'm not sure if drag-drop is the same as email. But, recently I emailed batches of receipts into Expensify. Expensify processed a bit more than half. I was advised not to send in more than 10 at a time. Do you think drag-drop would do better than email in this regard?

Hi @Hillebrt

Dragging the receipt images from your computer into Expensify is different from sending the receipts to [email protected] via email.

You can use either option, but there is no limit on how many emails you can send to [email protected] so if only half of the receipts you emailed in were processed, that is not as expected.

I would note though - sometimes smartscanning can take a little while, so I would advise you to wait a few hours if you have sent in multiple receipts and you aren't seeing them in your account. They are likely just in the queue for scanning and will be shown in your account soon!
