Uppy for file upload #5177

Open elynema opened 1 year ago

elynema commented 1 year ago

Description

Improve user experience around uploading files into Avalon from the web (as opposed to batch/dropbox upload). Some of these goals:

integrate uploading from local machine and remote sources into one tool
select and upload multiple files at one time
enable drag and drop for file upload (not just a picker)
auto-upload files once selected (without requiring an additional click on upload button)
remove file size limit for uploads from the web (use chunked uploading)

A long term goal is also to be able to build support for connecting to Sharepoint sites as a remote source.

Does Uppy require the node.js server if you are not uploading to/from cloud sources? Wondering what the impact will be on current Avalon users and whether setting this up might be a barrier.
