When uploading large numbers of photos/videos the only option as it stands are to either tap one by one through the photo uploading screen, or to upload your entire camera roll. When dealing with hundreds of photos but definitely not wanting to upload the entire camera roll this puts us in a weird position where uploading photos is nearly impossible.

Describe the solution you'd like
A way to drag your finger across to drag select as many photos as you would like would speed this process up tremendously. It is basically a must when uploading in mass.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Uploading the camera roll is a no-go as what we upload is categorized by what we are shooting. The photos are a mix of work, and personal and the cloud we are hosting is purely work related, so uploading everyones personal photos is a breach in privacy and also a waste of space. We tried going from the camera roll and sharing it to the app but this is just as tedious as tapping. The only solution we found is to just wait for this to be implemented and use Synology Drive for now.

Additional context
We are a small company that has roughly 30 employees that shoot video and take pictures on their phones. These are meant to be uploading to our Synology bay where it will soon be sent off to a client. That is why mixing entire camera rolls is not what we need. We treat these photos as files and upload them into neat folder structures depending on location and time they were shot for the client. Drag selecting is something implemented in all other ios cloud applications, it would be great if it was here too.
