Hi! I’d love to work on this. As a full-stack developer with experience handling file uploads and directory traversal in both Python backends and JavaScript frontends, I can implement folder uploads using the directory upload input on the client side and handle recursive processing server-side. I’ll make sure it’s smooth, secure, and respects existing upload workflows. Happy to jump in once #1770 is resolved!

I'm a full-stack developer with experience in JavaScript, Python, and building file upload systems using HTML5 APIs and backend frameworks. I’m particularly interested in this feature because it improves UX significantly and I’ve previously worked on folder upload implementations using the webkitdirectory attribute and recursive file handling on the server side. I’d aim to handle folder parsing cleanly in both the frontend and backend to ensure structure preservation and robust error handling. I’m confident I can contribute an efficient solution once #1770 is resolved.
