Desktop Media Uploader

Desktop Media Uploader was created as an AIR-based application that allows you to easily upload multimedia items directly to your Umbraco site.In order to upload files to any Umbraco sites, the Desktop Media Uploader package has to be installed

Umbraco is an open source content management system (CMS) platform for publishing content on the World Wide Web and intranets. It is written in C# and deployed on Microsoft based infrastructure.

Once you sign in to the Desktop Media Uploader with an Umbraco user account with sufficient privileges you can simply drag and drop the media files you want to upload.

Desktop Media Uploader honors user privileges, ensuring users can only upload files to folders they have access to. Desktop Media Uploader will disallow any file that is greater than the maximum file size allowed on the server, preventing unnecessary upload attempts.

Once all your files are queued, you can send them to your website via the Upload button.

Please note that if you are using anything other than IIS7, you will need to manually setup a mime type for the ".air" extension, which maps to "application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip" in order to be able to download the Desktop Media Uploader app.
