You don't upload a folder. You upload the files in the folder, individually.

Depending on the browser and version you're using, you may be limited to only doing one file at a time.

You didn't describe any particular problem or error messages you're getting nor showed the code you're using to pick the files and upload them on the client and the server side, so it's pretty much impossible to tell you what may be wrong.

As mentioned in Solution, you need to upload have a file that needs to be uploaded. Archive that folder and then upload as a file. For this, you need to ask the users to archive the folders first — otherwise use an offline software to do that and upload the files to server.

First method will not work, browsers will not allow selection of folders. There is a <input type="file" directory /> but that is not guaranteed to work. To know more on this, you need to understand how that input works,

If you use second method then you can use the following class to zip a folder, ZipFile Class (System.IO.Compression)[^].
