 Hi @kontur,

 Thanks for the ticket.

 The `media_handle_upload` function is meant to handle a single file at a
 time, from which it will generate and return a single attachment. If
 you're writing custom code, I would suggest handling the `$_FILES` object
 yourself, as you are suggesting.

 See examples: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/173197/upload-
 multiple-files-with-media-handle-upload

 If we want to support this in WordPress core, we should add handling for
 multiple file outside `media_handle_upload`, in places like
 `wp_ajax_upload_attachment` and
 `WP_REST_Attachments_Controller->upload_from_file()`.
