How It Works
Using the File Drag Drop Counter is simple. Drag files from your file manager and drop them into the upload area, or click on the upload area to open the file picker and select files. The tool will immediately count the files and display statistics including total file count, total file size, and number of unique file types. Each file is listed with its name, size, and type, making it easy to see what files have been counted.
The tool processes files locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device. File information is extracted and displayed, but the actual file contents are not uploaded or stored anywhere.
