Description

Part of UX improvements for sharing local files (#342)

Uploading is currently broken when dropping a directory

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the drag and drop upload handler to understand why directory drops fail. Check how File objects are handled for directories vs files, possibly using FileReader or DataTransfer APIs. Look for existing tests or comments in the codebase about directory upload.
