There is currently no standard way to handle directories.

Chrome:

Mozilla: unsupported

IE: unsupported but under development

This “works” in that it gets files but currently the path hierarchy is
lost.

This uses Chrome's implementation of the stalled Filesystem API to
handle dropped folders on Chrome and Opera.

All HTML5 browsers have perfectly usable support for file drag and drop. Only Chrome has any support for this involving nested directory contents.

I'm wondering whether we could do something like adding a separate drop target which would create a new folder for the contents to have at least some support on current Firefox/IE.

Currently using Amazon Cloud Drive in any browser other than Chrome looks familiar:
