I want to avoid users drag-dropping an entire folder into the dashboard for various reasons. I know the option is there in the file picker to disallow folders, that’s fine, but it doesn’t seem to affect drag/drop? Is this possible?

Hi, setting [`maxNumberOfFiles`](https://uppy.io/docs/uppy/#restrictions) does not work for you?

It’s not so much the number of files that’s the problem, I treat compressed and uncompressed files differently. I might have a different way around it though, which involves changing my assumptions a bit…

You can’t disable folders for now unfortunately

I might have a look at adding it as an option; presumably [uppy/packages/@uppy/utils/src/getDroppedFiles/utils/webkitGetAsEntryApi/index.ts at 23bf2298d8f888bde02fdd19b4b62dc99b2a382d · transloadit/uppy · GitHub](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/blob/23bf2298d8f888bde02fdd19b4b62dc99b2a382d/packages/%40uppy/utils/src/getDroppedFiles/utils/webkitGetAsEntryApi/index.ts#L70) would be the right place to put the check; I’ll see if I can make it work like [Dashboard | Uppy](https://uppy.io/docs/dashboard/#filemanagerselectiontype).
