We’ve released the following improvements to Google Docs file uploads:

- Folder uploads that maintain the folder structure
- An upload page that’s integrated into the Docs List
- Settings that remember your conversion and OCR preferences
- The ability to drag-and-drop files to the Docs List for upload

Release track:
Rapid Release*

Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education

Languages included:
All languages supported by Google Docs

How to access what's new:
- Upload files and folders via the ‘Upload’ button in the upper left hand side of the Docs List.
- The new upload window will display in the bottom right of your Docs List.
- Set upload settings the first time you upload a file or via the drop down in the upload menu or the pop-up.

Note: Folder upload and drag-and-drop upload are only available on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. You’ll need to first install an applet if you’d like to upload a folder in Firefox or Safari. Please be aware that these new features do not support the ability to select a language when converting a document via OCR or select visibility settings before upload. You can revert to the older version of the upload page by selecting ‘Basic’ from the ‘Upload’ menu.
