{
dropOnPage: true,
dropOnElement: true
}
);
</script>
Server Integration

document.querySelector('input[type="file"]'),
{
server: '/api'
}
);
</script>
Dropzone is a popular JavaScript library for drag-and-drop file uploads. It offers similar functionalities to FilePond, such as image previews and server integration. However, Dropzone is more focused on drag-and-drop interactions and may require more customization for other types of file uploads.
