Plupload - A beautiful file uploader powered by jQuery

I'm frustrated that in this day and age this is the best solution people recommend.

Are there any elegant HTML5 multiple file uploaders out there with drag and drop?

That, and direct S3 upload, is the Holy Grail for me.

Thanks!

I like the ajax upload.... very simple

fancyupload uses flash.... unless you are Facebook or a government website, I'd avoid all that fancy stuff and keep it simple for the future!

I mean, screw supporting old browsers

Given them a basic, single file uploaded with no fancy

A clean HTML5 implementation, with nice features, is more valued

Totally!

I mean, it's not like you can offer people the svelte, clean, fancy option and fall back to HTML POST if that doesn't work or anything. Nosirree.

Is this a form of self-satire? I don't understand what is going on here.

No, I genuinely would prefer the browser natively handle file transfers rather than relying on old browser plugins and lots of hacks to get old browsers to work

Whats wrong with this solution that would be solved with an HTML5-only solution?

Complexity.

Dropping back to native is thinking about the future rather than supporting the past with tired hacks and stupid browser plugins.
