To upload multiple files using Dropzone.js, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Include the Dropzone.js library in your HTML file. You can either download the library and include it locally or use a CDN link. Here is an example of how to include the library using a CDN link:
1
2
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/min/dropzone.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/min/dropzone.min.css">


  1. Create a form in your HTML file with a div element for Dropzone to target:
1
<form action="/upload" class="dropzone" id="myDropzone"></form>


  1. Initialize Dropzone on the form element with the desired configuration options. You can specify options such as the maximum file size, accepted file types, and more:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
<script>
  Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
  var myDropzone = new Dropzone("#myDropzone", {
    url: "/upload",
    maxFilesize: 5,
    acceptedFiles: ".png, .jpg, .jpeg"
  });
</script>


  1. Implement the server-side code to handle file uploads. When a user uploads files using Dropzone, they will be sent as FormData with a POST request to the specified URL. You need to handle this request on the server-side and save the files to the desired location.


By following these steps, you can easily upload multiple files using Dropzone.js in your web application.
