Disable status updates for multiple file uploads

When uploading many files at once to a community, e.g. pics taken at a trade fair or so, each upload generates a separate status update. So inadvertently I spam all my followers starting page. It's annoying. Why not have a checkbox or message dial...

Currently there is no possibility also for admins to change the owner of a file. We have a number of users who had to be removed from our system. The owner of their files cannot be changed. Please let us know how to change the owner of a file.
