Research direction
Start by reviewing the current file upload implementation in the frontend (likely in `src/components/FileUpload.jsx` or similar) and the backend API endpoint that handles file uploads. The feature requires the ability to select and upload entire directories. Check comments in this issue for discussion on implementation details. Additionally, this is blocked by issue #1770, which may need to be completed first.
