What is the best way to upload a folder to a website?

Question

I need an easy way to allow users to upload multiple files at once (ie I need to allow a user to upload a folder). I do not wish to put the burden of zipping on the user.

With Firefox 42 and Edge having implemented the new directory upload proposal we'll finally able to do cross-browser directory uploads. The APIs are nasty enough that you may want to check out my wrapper, uppie.
