How to send a folder to Telegram Bot?

Question

Python

How to send folder to telegram bot? I think you need to use sendDocument for this, but there you can only send files like .txt or .pdf, etc. How do you send a whole folder?
Library - telebot

Answer 1

zipfile library to help.

zfname = f'{Название архива}.zip'  
with ZipFile(zfname, "w") as nz:
    nz.write(f'[путь]/{Название файла1}.[расширение]') 
    nz.write(f'[путь]/{Название файла2}.[расширение]') 
f = open(zfname, 'rb')
bot.send_document([chat_id], f)

Answer 2

I doubt that you will be able to send the folder itself. You can send the contents of this folder and do something with it. And how to implement it - in a cycle or just drive in one by one each name is already a personal matter for everyone)

Answer 3

Telegram does not have this option. There are two options - either send each file separately, or pack the folder into an archive
