Upload folders or directories using web interface only
Described question : using gitlab accross web interface only, it is possible to upload files, to create folder. But it seems not possible to upload folders their content. Using “web IDE” feature, seems neither allow to upload folders and their content. So the question is: is there a way to upload folders using gitlab interface only ? And, optional: if not, is there a possibility to suggest this idea to the gitlab development teams ?
What I see
The menu in project -> Repository -> Files -> [+] does not include “Upload directory” option.
The menu in project -> Repository -> Files -> Web IDE -> does not include “Upload directory” option.

Gitlab Version
I’m using gitlab.com and its current version.
Hi @antc! It looks like the option to upload folders via the UI is a feature request. You should feel free to add this here, so that the right Product Managers can see the need for this!
I don’t know if what I wrote on the issue description is well enough written. Nor if “Product Managers” can see the need for this … I hope so. I try to do my best for my first-time " gitlab.com feature proposal" …
That is INSANE… What year is it? How in the world could the Devs of this product not see a use case for this? I am totally baffled by the lack of this functionality…
Looks like it is not possible yet. But no need for anyone to get angry or upset about it, it’s not possible on Github either.
Please also note, anyone who is coding a project concentrates on the most important features first. Opening an issue doesn’t necessarily mean it will get implemented. This is why it’s usually good for people to vote on the issue or post that they also want it so that Gitlab can see that a lot of people are interested in it. So far only 9 people did it on that issue that was raised ages ago. If more people would have given the thumbs up for that issue may have seen it integrated a lot quicker.
thank you for the very useful and resourceful response Sherlock Holmes what other genius comment can you make to make you look like an even bigger ass hat than you already fucking are. learn to comment with something that is actually fucking constructive to the topic jackass
Ah yes, looks like it works now. Strange the web interface only says upload files though, with no reference to directories. But maybe Gitlab will also add it soon.
Super cool ! Clap clap clap ! Youpi !
Any source of documentation to know more how to do that ?
I mean: opening Web IDE, and then drag and drop folders in the tree windows displaying on the left of windows seems working to add folders and their components, but, having done that, how to “commit” ? It sounds not so clear to me: I don’t see any thing which allow me to commit those adding folder via drag-and-drop process changes.
