Web: Uploading folders does not work in files-drop
Steps to reproduce
- Create a files-drop link.
- Open the files-drop link.
Expected behaviour
Some way to upload folder
Actual behaviour
No way to upload a folder. Dragging a folder uploads the contents of the folder (recurse through it and flattens them).
Also, using setValue and trying to upload folder through Nightwatch creates an empty file.

@skshetry mind trying this with OC 10 ?
as far as I remember we don't support subdirectories in files drop mode so this might be expected behavior

@PVince81, Folder uploads in OC 10 are not supported at all. Close this or is this a requirement (it is listed on #2222)?
Also, phoenix should not upload folder as an empty file nor should it flatten them and upload inside a same folder.

not a requirement imo, it would mess up the concept and make it more complex as we'd need to avoid file name collisions even across folders.
@pmaier1 thoughts ?

@pmaier1 please reopen if you think we want to change how it works in Phoenix

@PVince81, then, I would not expect the contents of sub-folders getting uploaded in the root of the publicly-shared folder (at least they should be in their respective sub-folders).
Re-opening, feel free to close if you don't think, that is an issue.

@skshetry you're right. We need to block this with a warning.

@skshetry could you retry this with all the changes that have occured in the last ~1,5 years? Should work fine now 😉

@pascalwengerter, uploading folders seems to work but all the files in the folder will be flattened.
for example, if we upload a folder with the following structure
├── upload
│ ├── file1.pdf
│ ├── file.ttf
│ └── sub
│ └── file2.pdf
it will upload all 3 files file1.pdf, file.ttf, and file2.pdf will be uploaded in the same folder. Is that correct behavior?
Uploading a similar folder in the main files section keeps the folder structure of the originally uploaded folder.

@pascalwengerter
Is the current behavior the expected one?
