@Siddharth thank you for the discussion, can you clarify on what you need exactly?

The Upload Files... command is registered with the following conditions:

eclipse-theia/theia/blob/f7ef6b56471926d30809e56de946fe61dddefb64/packages/filesystem/src/browser/filesystem-frontend-contribution.ts#L123-L137

      
        
            registerCommands(commands: CommandRegistry): void {
                commands.registerCommand(FileSystemCommands.UPLOAD, {
                    isEnabled: (...args: unknown[]) => {
                        const selection = this.getSelection(...args);
                        return !!selection && this.canUpload(selection);
                    },
                    isVisible: () => !environment.electron.is(),
                    execute: (...args: unknown[]) => {
                        const selection = this.getSelection(...args);
                        if (selection) {
                            return this.upload(selection);
                        }
                    }
                });
            }

Namely, the command is only available in the browser and requires that the selection is a directory/folder:

github.com

eclipse-theia/theia/blob/f7ef6b56471926d30809e56de946fe61dddefb64/packages/filesystem/src/browser/filesystem-frontend-contribution.ts#L139-L141

      
        
            protected canUpload({ fileStat }: FileSelection): boolean {
                return !environment.electron.is() && fileStat.isDirectory;
            }

@Siddharth you’ll likely be interested in the following file theia/file-upload-service.ts at master · eclipse-theia/theia · GitHub, currently we only support the input type='file' to be able to upload files to the server. You can experiment with HTMLInputElement.webkitdirectory - Web APIs | MDN to see if it might suit your needs.
