I recently did a lot of research on Google Chrome and went through the beta, but I canβt find the documentation for this specific issue. I have a web application that uses the webkitdirectory method:
<input type="file" class="hidden-input" multiple webkitdirectory>
and runs on the desktop version of Google Chrome, but not on Android beta. Based on what happens (which no longer happens) when I launch the application in beta version of Android Chrome, I would suggest that this type of file upload is not supported. I just needed documentation, so I could be sure that this was not what made it not work.
UPDATE: I found this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/SeYgA/1/ , which gives the same results as my web application. It gives you options for managing actions, but choosing a file browser allows you to select a file, and even after you select a file, it wonβt be downloaded. (NOTE: Must be running beta on Chrome for Android in order to experience the same behavior).
