Angular 11 file and folder drop library

Overview

The ngx-file-drop library is a powerful Angular module designed to facilitate desktop file and folder drag-and-drop functionality seamlessly. Built to simplify the file input process, this library leverages the HTML5 File API to provide a smooth user experience without the overhead of additional dependencies like rxjs-compat. It's important to note that Internet Explorer is not supported, as the library is optimized for modern browsers.

Whether you're building a web application that requires user uploads or simply need a clean interface for file management, ngx-file-drop allows you to enable drag-and-drop features effortlessly. This library comes with various customizable parameters to meet specific project requirements while adhering to the open-source MIT licensing.
