To mass upload a set of files with sub-folders,create a zip file on with the desired content on your computer.
To create a zip file:
macOS: select the folder or set of files to upload, then go to the File menu and select "Compress Items". Macs may include a set of extra files titled .DS_Store and __MACOSX inside the zip file. These files don't contain any needed information and may safely be deleted if they appear in Moodle.

- Moodle will ask if you want to extract the zip file into a folder. Confirm this choice.
