Is it possible to merely read files without actually uploading them to the cloud? #15

By default, the widget connects to a cloud provider (e.g. Bytescale) and uploads/saves the files there.

In my use case, however, I don't need to actually save the files. I just need to read their textual data. (The files I am working with are text and/or JSON files, not images. My workflow is basically (1) Read the raw text of files from the filesystem; (2) do something with that raw text.)

Is there a way to do this? Can I force the widget to not call the cloud storage provider?

At present, the Upload Widget always saves files at the point of user selection.

We're looking to change this in the future, such that the developer has the option to choose if/when the files are uploaded, although I can't provide an ETA on this.

I hope that helps!

@ljwagerfield I want it also, why this feature isn't implemented yet?

This is amazing component and this cloud integration is also very good solution, for serverless apps, but i want to store data on my database, let's do it in the near future, for dev purposes i will be using this overall, but i hope, you can implement this feature this year 😄
