I've seen hints that the native Grid Fieldtype allows multi-file uploads but I can't find that feature.
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/jf-multi-file-field says "the new ‘Grid’ field does everything this add-on does" and one of the comments on http://ellislab.com/blog/entry/introducing-grid-new-in-expressionengine-2.7 seems to indicate the same.
but I must be missing something. can someone explain how I can upload multiple images into the grid?
You can not natively upload all the files at once with grid. But you can individually select them for each cell in the grid
This doesn't apply to Grid, so I'm just leaving this here as it's the most relevant q/a I found to bring it up. I wanted to be able to select multiple files in a single cell. Since the only obvious multi upload was P&T's Matrix Multi Upload (it uploads whatever files you pick, then generates a row in Matrix for each file, as opposed to a new File fieldtype that allows multiple file selection) basically I'll upload all the files in advance (dummy field, or dummy entry, or same entry then refresh, whatever) and use a MX Select Plus($) field that yields a dropdown based on your own sql query (for me it was a list of specific filetypes).
Haven't used in templating yet but as far as control panel GUI goes that's the combination I've got going.
