Targeting Firefox 44 we intend to ship[1] Directory Upload[2], which provides
directory picking (via <input type=file directory>) and directory drag-and-drop.
Our implementation has been developed behind the `dom.input.dirpicker`
preference, enabled only in Nightly builds so far.
In addition to previously announcing our intent to implement[3], Directory
Upload has also been publicized to public-wicg[4], public-webapps[5], and
planet.mozilla.org via my blog[6]. There has been very little formal feedback
other than a suggestion to also support Directory integration with FormData
(that would be a good and obvious enhancement) and some questioning of whether
I/O blocking is really an issue (it can be). Informal feedback has been along
the lines of "seems good to me". Further feedback continues to be welcome of course.
Our informal understanding is that MS will not ship an implementation in Edge
until at least the new year.
