Razor MVC 4 only displaying one of multiple uploaded files

I'm trying to upload multiple files, the dialog shows multiple files selected (pictured below), but only the first file gets stored in my code. What am I doing wrong?

 @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.files, new { @class = "form-control", type = "file", multiple = "true", placeholder = "upload files"})

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "type,files,date")] Task mydata)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(mydata.files);//outputs: "C:\<path>\asdf.txt"
}

Edit: Task.files is of type string

When uploading multiple files, you want to bind to a collection. IEnumerable<string> should give you all filenames.

However, when uploading a file, the property should be a HttpPostedFileBase. When uploading multiple files, you need IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase>.
