Hi!
There is of course a way to import documents in MAXQDA in bulk. To to so, create a folder and transfer there the documents (texts, pictures, media files etc.), then open MAXQDA and drag the folder from the Windows Explorer or Mic Finder to the Document System. MAXQDA automatically creates a document group with the same name at the top of the document system and import all the documents. I would suggest you break your media data into several folders by theme, date, author or other characteristics, and import them one by one. Since you have a lot of media files, and they are usually large in size, please have patience with it :). By the way, your project file might quickly become very large, which can affect MAXQDA's overall performance. Therefore, you may want to consider storing your media files in an external folder? You will find detailed instructions in our online manual here:

I hope this helps! Best regards from MAXQDA,
