Drive Explorer: use Shift button to select multiple files

In the Rich Tier remote access to the S drive we were able to use native Windows Explorer functionality to select one file, hold down the Shift key, and select multiple other files. In Drive Explorer this is only allowing the options of All Files to be selected or a single click per file if multiple need to be selected. An example with a client is that there is a folder containing 82000+ files and to clean this up by selecting certain groups of files to delete is a very onerous task selecting or deselecting individual files.

I can vouch for this where I have some very large folders I need to clean up, but with tens of thousands of files, my only option is to decide to either select all the files and then manually deselect thousands I wish to keep, or alternatively manually select thousands of files of those I wish to delete. And that's if I don't get a proxy error waiting 20 minutes for all the files to appear in the first place.
