Auto-select and navigate to newly created directories during upload #64167

Description

@ferdiga

When uploading files, users frequently need to create a new directory to store those files. Currently, after creating a new directory, the file manager view remains in the parent folder, requiring the user to manually scroll through and select the newly created directory from the updated list. On mobile devices, this extra step creates significant friction and breaks the upload workflow.

Describe the solution you'd like
When a user creates a new directory—especially while in an active upload context or upload modal—the application should automatically change focus and navigate directly into the newly created directory. Any active upload selection or staged upload process should immediately target this new location.
