File Browser - Upload a folder

UX Enhancement - File Browser

Uploading a folder

I was testing the upload functionality and it doesn't look like you're able to upload an entire folder. Is this intentional behavior?

I was using jakevdp's iPython Handbook as an example and it was pretty tedious to upload all the elements and remake the folder structure in the JupyterLab file browser.

No, uploading a folder isn't implemented, and probably would be hard with browsers.

Multi-file upload, where you select all the files in a folder might be possible though.

Multi-file upload is already functioning, this is simply a place to wax philosophical about the possibility of uploading folders.

Hmm, there is a draft attribute that is decently supported: https://caniuse.com/#feat=input-file-directory
