Please implement a method by which files from the <sketch_folder>/data can be uploaded to the ESP8266 or ESP32's SPIFFS memory. In IDE v1.x this was accomplished via https://randomnerdtutorials.com/install-esp32-filesystem-uploader-arduino-ide/ and https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin

Yea I want this too, can't upgrade the IDE until this is available.

Thank you! We have an opened ticket to track the missing support of tools in IDE2: #58.

We want to keep one open issue for the same feature, so I have moved the request to #58 (comment).

I am closing it as a duplicate. Thank you for your understanding.
