 In browsers, you can easily upload an array of `File` objects coming from your form directly with [`FileList`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileList). If the files uploaded through `uploadFiles` have a relative path, they are added relative to this filepath. Otherwise, the whole structure is flattened into single directory.
