This module works great, no problem with it.

The only thing I'm missing at the moment is the ability to optionally include the file format extension in the "Media name". At the moment the extension is removed, so for example "cool_picture.jpg" becomes "cool_picture". This is totally fine for most occasions, but if you're migrating content (with media files) from D7 to D8 and using this module to upload the actual media files, you most probaby need those file extensions as by default Media module uses the full file name (with extension) as the "Media name". Now you have to manually remove the extensions before importing the data to get it right.

Of course this also depends on how you're importing the data (I'm using feeds, so the media name is pretty much my only choice of targeting the right files), but as Media module is using the file extension anyway, I think it would be good practice to allow that for the bulk upload too.
