How can I upload folder and files both from same input type?

Question

I am using a form where I can upload both, a file or full folder. I am using following code:

Answer 1

As I'm writing this, this is not possible with pure HTML, unless you use some plugin like Flash then maybe it's possible.

1 file upload:

<input type="file" name="file">

Multiple files upload (but must be in same folder):

<input type="file" name="file[]" multiple>

1 folder upload (Note: not all browsers may support this):

<input type="file" name="file" webkitdirectory directory>

Multiple folders upload maybe not possible currently.

Here is a trick that might work (but I didn't test it): You can drag and drop file(s) and folder(s) directly in the input field, for example from your desktop to the browser's input. Try selecting files AND folders and drog-n-drop them in your input field, but I don't know if they will be uploaded correctly to the server.

EDIT:

Just tested that trick, it didn't work :/
