Community / support / Folder upload doesn't work on web

Originally from @Ludwig
I tried to use Web version via Falkon browser. While now I'm able to upload files properly, when I tried to upload folders, it says "Dialog dismissed or directory not accessible".

The web API (and this library) is experimental and is only supported on Chrome, Edge and Opera browsers for now. It is not recommended to use this library in a production environment.
We're adding this to backlog and hopefully get to this to see if there is anything we could do to improve browser support/coverage.
A Dart library to expose the File System Access Api from web platform.

Hi, thanks for the information. Falkon browser is probably very specific browser. So I would understand if it does not work properly. I tried Web option with Firefox and Brave as well. Both of them worked perfect! They had only one problem (I do not know if it is a general issue). When I tried to upload a folder around 5 GB (some 80 files in it) usage of Ram goes extrem at one point. When upload was around 1.5 GB, the usage of Ram was about 8 GB. Around 4 GB upload the usage of Ram hit 16 GB and the web page is crashed. It happened in both browser.

We will be looking more closely into this issue. For bigger file operations we recommend using desktop/mobile clients, our web app honestly is 2nd class citizen. It aims to be clone of desktop/mobile apps and emergency access (if user don't want to install anything), but current performance due to some technology challenges that we face is worse than a desktop/mobile app. This is one of the reasons that all of its (web) features are available entirely free of charge. I hope we can solve your Mint 22 issue: https://discord.com/channels/1069654792902815845/1268291080244170844 (edited)

Okay, I see. In my case, I just used Web due to the problems of running desktop client. But next time I can try to use Android client for big folders. Then I should focus on solving the issue of desktop client in my Mint 22. Thans for helping!
