Cannot upload empty folders via the User Portal "Upload folders" button.
Original Question or Issue:
Cannot upload empty folders via the User Portal "Upload folders" button.
Environment:
- Product - Any
- Version - Any
- Platform - Any
Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to upload a folder with no files via the "Upload Folder" option from within your User Portal.
Error or Log Message:
Defect or Enhancement Number:
Cause:
The "Upload Folder" button uses an HTML input internally, and HTML inputs don't track folders; they track actual files. That is how browsers handle change events for "file" inputs. When uploading empty folders, this is seen as the user uploading nothing.
Resolution or Workaround:
The current workaround is to drag and drop the empty folders into the User Portal, as this method allows for the upload of empty folders.
