So I tried uploading multiple images from web app on desktop. Every time I upload multiple picture at same time, browser tab keep crashing.
I am using linux as desktop specifically Pop OS and firefox as browser. Currently my PC has 32GB ram and i was watching it when I was uploading and it crashes when it max out. Is there a way to make browser upload smart when it knows what need to be uploaded but wait and upload two or three images at a time.

I tried same test with different service provider and it didn't crash.

I restarted service as well.

Number of photos I was uploading was 147. They are roughly 4 to 10 MB each.

For bulk upload, I suggest using the CLI instead. Browser should be used for upload about 50 images or less. I will put a limit on total file to be upload at one time on the browser

Yesterday, I've tried 2.800 images, but also crash, but when I tested with 1000 Images, it works! it depends on which browser, system and total size..
