Allow users to select multiple files when uploading folders. The steps that need to occur for upload:

User selects files (implemented)
Using a JS library, the files are compressed into a single archive using a gzip library (needs planning)
Archive marked so that the system knows it was self compressed
The archive is now treated as the file upload and passed through the system (needs planning)
The file is uploaded to the tangle (implemented)

The steps that need to occur for download:

User puts in handle
File is brought to the user's machine
? (Needs planning because folders can't be downloaded. Files could be downloaded individually, or potentially we could implement self extracting archive)

This obviously needs a lot of planning if it will be implemented. Is it even worth implementing before the intelligent wrapper?

As to your question at the bottom, I would wait for the intelligent wrapper for this.
