How to upload multiple files using JavaScript SDK?
Hi, I am using Javascript SDK to upload multiple files at once. I have a dropbox business account enabled and the folder where I am trying to upload the files is a shared folder.

I see, thanks for clarifying. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to upload multiple files in one call, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
That being the case, you will need to loop through your files and call filesUpload once per file. Apologies I don't have better news for you!
Okay! regarding your second point, According to documentation, "upload sessions" are meant for the files > 150MB, But in my case, The number of files is large but the size of each file is < 150MB.

Dropbox Community ModeratorUpload sessions in general are meant for larger files, but you can also use them for smaller files. That makes sense in particular when you have many files to upload at the same time, because the /2/files/upload_session/finish_batch allows you to commit multiple files at once, without causing lock contention between them. You can find more information on that under "Batch Upload" in the data ingress guide Taylor linked to.
