Drag and drop vs browse

Drag and dropping a file behaves differently when using the browse feature. I am using the dashboard with XHRUpload to upload files/folder.

When I use the browse link to upload a file, say, hello.txt the relativePath shows null but when I drag and drop the same file on it the relative path is /hellow.txt, which is guess is wrong, it should still be null knowing that it’s not a folder but a single file.

This is also mildly connected to the functionality of selecting folders via the ‘My Device’ file input, I think it may be doable, should I look into it?

Yes, but from my last research on selecting folders, if you allow folders in “select file” dialog (via file input), you can only select folders then — no files. So we’d need to add a separate icon to the Dashboard, “select folder”, and there’s not much we can do for DragDrop plugin. More thoughts on this appreciated 👍

Clarification: we will make nonfoldered files’ .relativePaths always null, whether they were dropped along with some folder, or not.
