PXD-1188 ⁃ BC/VA Data Submission/Download

it’s not easy to use at the moment. what would make it easy to use IMO is:

1. be able to take a manifest file for downloads/uploads.
2. have Windmill generate those manifests given the selection of files to download in the explorer AND generate an upload manifest when files are registered.

The reason is eluded to in the documentation if you go to the bottom.. when you upload data files using the CDC, you have to supply it both the filename and the UUID that was generated in Windmill, and it currently does one file at a time. But there is also no easy way to get a 1-to-1 mapping of your filenames and the UUIDs. You have to query the API for the UUID and filename, then use that json to create a manifest file. not easy
