Check Existing Issues

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

Drag/dropping folder or clicking upload in the sidebar to upload folder to a chat or in open-terminal doesn't work.
It doesn't raise an error in the interface, just ignores the upload.

in devtools the following error is shown:

Uploading zips and having the model unzip it works fine but adds steps.

Could this feature be added?

Desired Solution you'd like

Support for folder uploads in files and in Terminals

Alternatives Considered

Zipping folders, and having the model unzip them.
Works, but adds steps.

Additional Context

No response
