Legitimate way to allow uploading of folders

[ranvir singh]

Hell there,

I am an intermediate user of Django and have been using this since last summer. Recently I encountered a situation in which I wanted to make an app which allows the user to upload a folder. I have already set up the views and template and it is working for a single file. I know there is documentation to make it work for multiple files, but by surfing the internet I wasn't able to find a good method to upload directories through a single field. 

I did find some solutions which asked to add some JavaScript code or something. I want to know is that, Is there some legitimate way to do this?

Thank you for your contributions.

You can use zip folder for that.

Are you saying that we allow only zip files to be uploaded by the user.

As per my experience we can not upload folder but we can upload zip folder to server. You can unzip that folder and read all file and save to db.

The server can accept files, the frontend may allow the user to select a folder and send multiple files
