Can Limesurvey do chunked large file uploads? Or better, Dropzone.js?

LimeSurvey version: 6.10.2
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Own server
Survey theme/template: Default
==================

I have a requirement for survey users to be able to send us packages of files (bulk uploads). These may include multiple large documents, images, and even screen recordings and other videos. Let's say 5 or 10 files, varying in size. Large videos may be 2GB+ each.

1) Is there existing capability in Limesurvey to accept drag-and-drop bulk uploads like this? Do they get stored in the database or on the file system somewhere? And if latter, potentially which path? (and is that a configurable setting?)

2) If yes to Q1, is file-chunking provided as part of the upload, to avoid timeouts, issues with size and config settings for php.ini and so on?

Or 3) best yet, is there a pathway to integrate Dropzone.js for this? Since that wouldn't be reinventing the wheel, and that's already a well-known and stable project.

Thank you!

Well even on login (i.e. not anonymous account) I still get Access Denied:

Might it be easier just to give me the gist of the ticket?
