That's correct, 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, but only call filesUpload for the next file once the previous file upload has completed, that is, once the callback method has fired.

Has the feature request mentioned here rolled out in current version? Can you kindly confirm I have a situation like I have to upload multiple files ?
