Gets or sets the folder processing mode.

## Syntax
 
```
$au.uploader({
    //...other params...
    folderProcessingMode: "Skip",
    //...other params...
})
```

```
$au.uploader('uploaderID').folderProcessingMode(value);
value = $au.uploader('uploaderID').folderProcessingMode();
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: **String**
 
The folder processing mode.
 
The following values are supported:
 
| Value | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Skip** | Subfolders are not shown in the folder pane, so it is impossible to upload a whole folder if it is not a current folder. |
| **Show** | Subfolders are visible in the folder pane, so a user can select folders. However, restoring folders structure on server side is impossible because no file path information is uploaded. |
| **Upload** | Subfolders are shown in the folder pane, so a user can select folders. Moreover, it is possible to restore folders structure on a server because ActiveX/Java Uploader sends each file along with its relative path to the selected folder. |
 
Default value is **"Skip"**.

## Remarks
 
**Note** 
ActiveX/Java Uploader Express does not display and upload folders. See the [Upload Suite Editions](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/upload-suite-editions.htm.md) topic for details.
