Hi everyone,

Is it possible to upload in local a folder and subfolders with the folder structure?

Apologies if this has already been asked but I’ve not been able to find an answer.

Thanks

Found out using meta relativepath and server side logic for my solution

Hello, I am a newbie and trying to capture the sub folders. Do you have an example of using relativepath is it set via dashboard or core ?  
Thanks

Hi, we can add new metadata on file-added event

```auto
uppyDashboard.on('file-added', async (file) => {
            uppyDashboard.setFileMeta(file.id, {
                filename: file.name,
                relativePath: file.meta.relativePath
            });
        });

```

and then on the server side we can create structure folder like metadata relativePath
