Gets or sets a number of user-selected files which will be processed and uploaded within a single request.

## Syntax
 
```
$au.uploader({
    uploadSettings: {
        //...other params...
        filesPerPackage: 0,
        //...other params...
    }
})
```

```
$au.uploader('uploaderID').uploadSettings().filesPerPackage(value);
value = $au.uploader('uploaderID').uploadSettings().filesPerPackage();
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: **Number**
 
The number of user-selected files that will be processed and uploaded within a single request. If more files are selected, they are submitted in separate requests. When this value is `0`, all the files are uploaded in one request.
 
Default value is **0**.

## Remarks
 
When this property is greater than `0`, ActiveX/Java Uploader sends converted files and metadata for [filesPerPackage](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/JA_P_J_$au_uploadSettings_filesPerPackage.htm.md) user-selected files per each request. Typical scenario is when you set this value to `1`, i.e. every user-selected file is processed and uploaded in a separate request. It gives a number of benefits: reduces amount of memory used on the server to process requests from ActiveX/Java Uploader and allows resuming partially completed upload if it has been broken, etc.
