I have to figure out how to post a batch of assets to Arweave once a year and it's always painful to sort out again. Here's how. If anyone has a better idea please share! 1. Make an Arweave wallet if you don't have one. I guess https://www.wander.app/ is the one. 2. You need $AR. I transfer Eth to Ar via https://simpleswap.io. There's a storage calculator you can use to figure out how much $AR you need at https://ar-fees.arweave.dev/. 3. Install the Arweave CLI: https://github.com/ardriveapp/ardrive-cli 4. You'll need to export that wallet from Wander, you can get a JSON from it. 5. Create a Drive: `ardrive create-drive --wallet-file your-wallet.json --public --drive-name "Lucky Ghouls"` 6. That's going to return a few values including its ID, you need that ID.

IPFS used to have a really nice native desktop drag and drop uploader. Be awesome to have something like that! It was from https://nft.storage/

It depends how you logged in / connected. If you use the Wander browser extension wallet then you can select "always approve" when initially connecting the wallet. You can change that in the settings or by logging out of ArDrice completely and reconnecting.
