Bug Description

For both regular blob containers and ADLS Gen2 blob containers:

When clicking “Upload Directory…” from the Upload dropdown, the dialog that appears is titled “Upload Folder”. This creates an inconsistency between the action label (“Directory”) and the dialog terminology (“Folder”), which may confuse users.

Additionally, for ADLS Gen2 blob containers:

When clicking “New Directory”, the dialog that appears is titled “New Folder”
