Keeping directory structure

[BoPeng]

Right now when we upload (e.g. drag and drop)

file1
dir1/file2

we would end up with

file1
file2

and the directory information is lost.

I believe that it is better to keep directory structure and return

file1
dir1/file2

to users. Among other benefits, this would correctly upload for example

README
dir1/README

when README are different.

I'll put this on the todo list.

Something like the following

can hack the output, but will not pass yarn lint and only works for s3.
