Hi there… I’ve been developing a React app recently where I’m creating a sort of timeline where each Timeline section can have it’s own video. And each of the generated timeline sections is a new component that has it’s own uppy instance. My question here is, can I have an upload progress component that will show progress for all videos on all uppy instances? Or should I maybe have only one Uppy instance at the top level, then each section only has a Dropzone? Or something else entirely…? ---

I think you’re best bet is indeed to use a single instance of `@uppy/core` with multiple `@uppy/drag-drop` with different `id`’s (or some other UI) and a single `@uppy/status-bar` (or some other progress bar). However, I have not tried to use multiple UIs with Uppy myself. I think it should work though. ---

Hi zzleki I am also using Uppy, There should be different instances for each section because when you apply any event like beforeupload, in that case, this will not work correctly I have rendered multiple uppy uploaders on the same page, and for that, I have created different instances like uppy1 and uppt2 like that where the 1 and 2 are the id of my field, You can see this in the attached Images ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/transloadit/original/1X/cc836921c52d43d2bcb13dbf91116b07f6667b07.png) Thanks Preetam Kumar Joshi ---

Thank you for the reply. Sadly this project was pushed aside for some more pressing matters for some time… But now I’m working on this again 💪💪 If you still remember, how do you handle uploads? Do you trigger all of them at once or are they uploaded separately? - e.g. drop video into uppy, click upload, repeat for all…
