Auto Upload
Files begin uploading immediately after selection when autoUpload: true is set. No separate upload button needed.
Drag & drop files here
<div id="myUploader" class="mu-uploader"> <button type="button" class="mu-select-btn">Select Files</button> <input type="file" class="mu-file-input" multiple style="display:none" /> <div class="mu-dropzone">...</div> <div class="mu-progress" style="display:none">...</div> <div class="mu-queue"></div> </div>
var uploader = new MultipleUpload(document.getElementById('myUploader'), {
uploadUrl: '/api/upload',
autoUpload: true // Start uploading immediately on file select
});
Starting on selection
autoUpload defaults to true: files begin transferring as soon as they are picked, with no button to press. For a single small attachment that is the right default — the extra click adds nothing.
Where it stops being right
Large files, metered connections, or a queue the user is still assembling. Uploading immediately means a file removed a moment later was already sent, and a mistake costs the whole transfer rather than nothing. Set it false and the queue waits for upload().
