Edit: I created a Github repo. https://github.com/makit3d/3DS-Max-GLTF-Importer.
I was tired of all the expensive importers available online and I didn't want to have to use Blender every time I needed to open one. So, I made an importer myself. I'm not very good with scripting or coding, but this worked for me.
It's fully opensource, doesn't have a license and you can do with it what you want. If you have an issue I will try to fix it. This has only been tested with Max 2024. If doesn't work with your version contact me and I will attempt to make it work for your release, but testing it will have to happen on your end since I don't have access to another Max version.
In this version you can import multiple files at a time and see a progress bar during import and the corresponding data during the process. You have some options for orientation, mesh manipulation, and texture choices for storage.
Again, I am not a veteran coder, so please know that any changes might take some time to fix. To use it I just load it up as a script and 'Evaluate All'. Eventually I will make it can be added like other plugins, but that is far down the road. 🙂
I hope it works for you!

Your repo has a . in its title and hence in the URL, too.

Indeed, Martin is right - there is a trailing period in the repo name
i think in the github UI its quite easy to rename and its best done early before people start to clone it - to prevent later confusion
