In Django admin, you can add several files at once by using the Django Multiuploader app. To use this app, follow the steps below:

1. Install the Django Multiuploader app using pip:

pip install django-multiuploader

1. Add 'multiuploader' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py and run the migrations:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # other apps
    'multiuploader',
]

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

1. Create a new model for the files you want to upload:

from django.db import models
from multiuploader.models import MultiuploaderImage

class MyFile(models.Model):
    description = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    files = models.ManyToManyField(MultiuploaderImage, blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.description

1. Create a new admin form for your model:

from django import forms
from multiuploader.forms import MultiuploaderFileForm
from .models import MyFile


class MultiImageForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyFile
        fields = '__all__'
        widgets = {
            'files': MultiuploaderFileForm()
        }

1. Register your model and form in admin.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MyFile
from .forms import MultiImageForm


class MyFileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = MultiImageForm

admin.site.register(MyFile, MyFileAdmin)

With the above configuration, you can now upload multiple files at once in Django admin.
