Wish people would stop depending on jQuery. Old browsers can default to a normal form input.
Why do you wish people would stop depending on jQ? I'm just curious.

Might be worth a few paragraphs.

#13This is nice. Anyone know if it will work for direct uploads to S3?
I've been playing with browser uploads for a few weeks now (including S3) and was too worried about the complexities of uploading to S3. I realized that there's nothing really fancy going on when uploading to S3. That's only true since Amazon added CORS support. Just add a few hidden form fields and you're good to go. Properly populating those fields can be a bit tricky, however. This gem will does a great job and sh…
You might want to take a look at our Webscript example for doing this: https://www.webscript.io/examples/s3upload. (You can ignore the download part.) It should be trivial to use Dropzone.js instead of the normal in the example HTML.

For one, it's heavy compared to some very simple JS and a good portion of the time you don't need the entirety of the library.
That said, it does abstract much of the crap that goes along with XMLHttpRequests and all the cross-browser idiosyncrasies that go along with it.
I'd say at this point it's a matter of personal preference and performance requirements.

#16Thank god for this. So much easier to use this with Require JS instead of jQuery-File-Upload.

I think a combination of something like TinyXHR (https://gist.github.com/shimondoodkin/4706967) and querySelectorAll would suffice for many simple use-cases on modern browsers.

#19Pretty neat library. Any plans to connect to filepicker.io? Would love to be able to drag a file in my webapp for it to upload to filepicker automatically and haven't got the time yet to do it myself!

#20Nice. We use jquery-filedrop, which is really simple, but does the trick.
