SharePoint 2010: Upload multiple photos is missing

If you wanna upload multiple photos or suppose multiple documents and if the option is missing then don’t worry as it’s a simple issue and resolution too.

Problem description:

Upload multiple photos is missing in upload dialog box

Resolution:

Upload Multiple Files is missing when you don't have any local Office clients installed.  Here's the list of requirements to see that option:

1.      The 32 bit version of Internet Explorer. The 64 bit version does not support it and neither do other, non IE, browsers.

2.      The STSUpld.UploadCtl IE add-in must be enabled.

3.      Office 2003 /Office 2007 / Office 2010 / Office 2013 or newer on the client

4.      Client integration will need to be enabled for the web app.

Why it's required? Here is the reason- There is an ActiveX control that is used to support multiple file uploading - that ActiveX control is installed with office.

That’s it – once you install any of the client (i.e. any office version as listed above – step#3) then your issue will be resolved.
