Input

File upload

A dashed area where you drop a file or click to choose one, with progress shown.

When to use it

  • Uploading résumés, images and documents
  • Files may be large, so people need to know how far along it is

When not to

  • Accepting one small avatar: a plain "Choose file" button is enough
  • Not stating allowed formats and sizes, so people upload and are then rejected
