Version 22.11
The Universal Library Uploader utility is a Windows standalone tool that uploads files or folders into the Universal Library web storage. Once uploaded, these files become available via the Kurzweil 3000 Windows and Macintosh desktop web license editions, Kurzweil 3000 for Web Browsers website (Kurzweil3000.com).
Note: You can use the Kurzweil 3000 app for Macintosh to upload files in bulk; you do not need to use this utility for that.
