Hello @stevenhe1988! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's take a look at the issue you're experiencing together.

I found two similar closed issues that might be relevant to your problem:

1. [Question]: Batch uploading files in the knowledge base is unresponsive - The suggested solution was to upload files in batches via the API instead of the front end, as it is usually recommended for handling large uploads ^[1].

2. [Bug]: 创建知识库时无法上传文件夹 - The suggested solution was that this feature is not supported yet ^[2].

Additionally, there are known limitations for directory uploads in RAGFlow. For demo.ragflow.io, the maximum total file size per upload is 10 MB, with each file not exceeding 10 MB and a maximum of 128 files allowed per account ^[3][4].

The function responsible for handling the 'OK' button action during directory uploads is the onSubmit function within the UploadAgentForm component. This function calls the onOk callback with the form data and hides the modal if the callback returns a truthy value ^[5].

These insights might help you troubleshoot the issue further.

I'm on 0.20.5 and I don't even have this "Directory" upload option - why?
