Is It Possible To Upload Multiple Files at Once?

For the expansion of a Warhammer 40k tabletop group on roll20, I need to upload several hundred image files that are all of a relatively small size to act as tokens. I started uploading them one at a time, but that takes forever. What I would like to do is the following- 1. -Upload entire folders at once and have the images all appear on the map of the page I am currently active on) 2. -(possibly) name each token after its filename. (Ex, name Guardsman.png Guardsman in roll20's interface) While i'm assuming I can't do the second one, Is there a way to do massed uploads? I don't want to have to upload one file at a time.

Yes 1) go to the sidebar and click on the art library tab then click on the black star (art library manager) 2) In the Art Library Manager click on Upload. 3) In your computer select the images you want to upload. 4) Drag the images from your computer to the "Drop a file" area. Note: The uploader may have not like trying to do too many at once. I find 5-10 to be a reasonable amount.
Ah, that explains why that feature seemingly didn't work. It didn't let me upload the folder when i dragged it, but selecting tons of photos (as opposed to the folder itself) works. Is there any way to then have the models appear on the screen as tokens as soon as they are dropped?

No, you will need to either switch back to "Your Library" (in the Art Library Manager) and drag from there to the board or go to your art library tab and search for the image using its filename (which becomes a tag) or any tags you may have assigned it. It shouldn't take long to switch to "Your Library" after each 5-10 image batch and drag them to the table before starting your next batch.
The files are so small (all under 10kb) so I can upload all 100+ from a folder at once. Thanks for clarifying, I was trying to drag the folder itself over and that wasn't working and I wasn't sure why.
