Folder Upload on Knime Webportal

[r_jain]

Hi,

I want the option for the user to select a folder from local machine and all the files within it get consolidated and i can run the workflow.

How can i get this done?

Thanks in advance,
Rajat

Local File Browser Configuration In local

Is there any way this can be achieved? The goal is that the user doesn’t get to see the logic and they only choose the folder in their local. TIA
