I noticed that with html5 an entire folder can be uploaded like this:
<input type="file" name="file_input[]" id="file_input" multiple="" webkitdirectory="">
this will send back to the server all files found in the folder.
However, is there a way to get an absolute path to the folder as a string and pass that to the server?
For example: If the path is C:\documents\my_folder
then I would like to send that to the server as a string rather than sending all files inside my_folder
