+===================
+File bulk upload
+===================
+
+.. sectionauthor:: Matthieu Gallien <matthieu.gallien@nextcloud.com>
+
+Introduction
+------------
+Uploading many small files is often slower than what could be achieved because we do not
+use the whole network bandwidth. Nextcloud has a bulk upload API where you can upload
+many small files together in order to optimize the use of network bandwidth.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The API is only available for registered users of your instance. And uses the path:
+``<server>/remote.php/dav/bulk``.
+
+Starting a bulk upload
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A bulk upload is simply using a request structured as HTTP multipart with related mime type.
+
+Each file is then sent as one HTTP part.
+
+Each file inside an HTTP Part will need the following headers:
+
+* Content-Length: <file size>
+* Content-Type: <mimetype>
+* X-File-MD5: <md5 checksum>
+* X-File-Mtime: <modification time of file>
+* X-File-Path: <destination file path>
+
+The reply is a json document with the following structure:
+
+.. code-block:: JSON
+
+  {
+      "/small file.txt": {
+          "error": false,
+          "etag": "adb9aa24cbfa8e372c88431d1d99629a"
+      }
+  }
