How to upload multiple files on Android using the multiple property?

Question

I got a,

<input type="file" multiple accept="image/*" />

and I want my android users to be able to upload multiple files at a time. Users using nexus-5 report being unable to upload multiple files at a time. I also tried adding capture="camera" to the input but this only auto open the camera and only associate one picture at a time again. This works everywhere except on Android.

Is there anything I am missing?

I've hit the same brick wall. I've tried a number of mobile browsers and can't find any that work.

I found this link that tells you that none of the Android browsers support this: http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-file-multiple

From extensive searching, I've seen information that suggests that Chromium supports this (but no beta yet) and it should make it into Chrome for Android but no indication of time-frame.
