To use this feature, begin by creating a manifest using the guidelines found here, with the key difference being the use of a local relative Unix-style file path instead of a gs:// address, ensuring it does not include ".." for parent directory navigation. Store the manifest.json file in a designated folder, such as myUploadFolder, with your GeoTIFFs (or zip for tables), which can be organized into subfolders. Drag and drop this folder onto the upload icon in the asset tab to initiate the upload, where you can monitor its progress in the task tab. If your data originates from URLs, it will be processed through your computer. For table uploads, incorporate table:true into your manifest to indicate vector data. From version 1.8.0 onwards, uploads will be associated with the currently active cloud project.
