Is there a good jQuery Drag-and-drop file upload plugin? [closed]

Question

Check out the recently¹ released upload handler from the guys that created the TinyMCE editor. It has a jQuery widget and looks like it has a nice set of features and fallbacks.

According to their docs, the following browsers support drag & drop:

• Firefox 4+
• Safari 5+
• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.0+

If you're looking for one that doesn't rely on Flash then dropzonejs is a good shout. It supports multiple files and drag and drop.

If you are still looking for one, I just released mine: http://github.com/weixiyen/jquery-filedrop

Works for Firefox 3.6 right now. I decided not to do the Chrome hack for now and let Webkit catch up with FileReader() in the next versions of Safari and Chrome.

This plugin is future compatible.

FileReader() is the official standard over something like XHR.getAsBinary() which is deprecated according to mozilla.

It's also the only HTML5 desktop drag+drop plugin out there that I know of which allows you to send extra data along with the file, including data that can be calculated at the time of upload with a callback function.

I created a plugin which allows you to drop some files onto a given area. This plugin currently works in Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
