Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/1263

I wanted to transfer a lot of folders from my PC to a file server running TinyFileManager 2.5.3 Offline, however immediately it became obvious TFM was just dumping files from every folder into a single one. I could create tons of folders manually, but that would be quite tedious and in my opinion it would be a welcome QoL change to include uploading folders as FOLDERS and not just their contents.

I’m experiencing the same issue, which is unfortunate because TFM is otherwise a great tool!
About 4 or 5 years ago, I uploaded many thousands of files, spread over more than 400 folders using TFM. The folder structure was transferred perfectly at that time.
So back then, it worked fine. No idea why this feature was disabled...

I'm running the latest version "UI Update - 2.6" and file/folder structure is maintained when I upload my files. I click the "upload" button and then drag my folder to the upload box. It shows the individual files uploading, but they do upload to their respective folders.
