I suggest that you compress the folder, and then send it as a single attachment, I don't know if folder uploads are allowed, even if they are, they are always sent as different attachments. Compressing the folder has another advantage, if your folder contains another folder, you don't need to worry about it. — tsamridh86, Dec 08 '20 at 06:57
Zip like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25650295/6091017. Then send that :) — kluvin, Dec 08 '20 at 10:04
