Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Possible to to add a whole folder and batch the file upload?

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a whole folder and it adds document one by one. Would be lovely if it was recursive.

I think its fairly self explanatory.

Already implemented. On Docker deployments you'd add a volume bind mount:

-v /path/to/your/docs:/app/backend/data/docs

And then from the Documents > Document Settings page you can Sync your docs folder.

@justinh-rahb
This is a manual implmentation yes?
What i mean is when i use the "documents" and click on the "+" icon. I have the option of selecting a folder and it syncing all the documents inside it.
Does it make sense?

It makes sense, but not as a new feature. You can already multi-select every document in a folder when you click the "+" icon and upload them at once:
