Problem uploading spiffs to ESP8266. Something is wrong with the files in the data dir.

Hi Kurt.
Can you tell me exactly the error that you get?

Hi Kurt.
That seems to be a recent issue with the plugin.
Read this discussion: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/6777
They provide some suggestions to fix that issue.
I hope this helps.
