Plugin details

Stop settling for the outdated standard file uploader. Dropzone Ultimate (Free) gives your app a polished, modern drag-and-drop experience that feels like a native feature in high-end apps (like Linear or Stripe).
Why use this?

🎨 Professional UI: A beautiful, animated drop area with visual feedback (hover effects, progress bar, success checkmark).

⚡ Native S3 Storage: Uploads files directly to your Bubble app's file manager. No complex AWS S3 setup or external accounts required.

🛡️ Smart Validation: Automatically rejects files that are too big or the wrong type before they even start uploading, saving bandwidth.

📱 Seamless UX: Supports clicking to browse or dragging and dropping. Automatically handles file replacement (single file mode).

Free Features:

  - Modern Drag & Drop: Pixel-perfect design with "hover" and "drop" states.

   - Auto Upload: Handles the upload process automatically and returns the final S3 URL.

  - Visual Feedback: Built-in progress bar and success animation.

  - Error Handling: returns specific error messages (e.g., "File is too big") for better user feedback.

Ideal for: Invoice uploads, Profile pictures, Resumes/CVs, and Verification documents.



Dropzone (Free) V2.0 is live! Building a wrapped native app (BDK, Expo, etc.) and tired of clunky web-view file uploaders? We’ve got you covered. We just added a brand-new Native Mobile (Beta) element to our Free tier!

✨ What's inside this version:

📱 True Native Picker: Uses the native iOS/Android document picker for a flawless, native feel.

⚡ Lightning-Fast Base64 Engine: Instantly converts the selected file into a Bubble-ready Base64 string directly on the device.

🎯 Single-File Focus: The perfect lightweight solution for profile picture uploads or single-document attachments.

🛡️ Built-in Safety: Enforces your exact Max File Size (MB) and Accepted Files rules before processing.

🎨 Clean UI: Hardcoded to match our beautiful, minimalist Web Free design (gray background, dashed borders, green progress bars).

Instructions

How to use Dropzone Ultimate (Free):
1. Setup:

  - Place the Dropzone Uploader element on your page.

  - Resize it to fit your design (it is responsive and takes 100% of the available width/height).

  - Properties: Set your Placeholder Text (e.g., "Drop invoice here"), Accepted Files (e.g., "application/pdf"), and Max File Size (MB).

2. Saving the File:

  - Unlike the standard input, this plugin handles the upload immediately when a file is dropped. You just need to save the result.

  - Create a Workflow: Elements > Dropzone Uploader A has an upload complete.

  - Action: Data > Create a new thing (or Make changes).

  - Set your file field to: Dropzone Uploader A's Uploaded URL.

3. Handling Errors (Recommended):

  - Create a Workflow: Elements > Dropzone Uploader A has an upload error.

  - Action: Plugins > Alert / Toast (or generic "Show Alert").

  - Set the text to: Dropzone Uploader A's Error Message.

  - Note: This will tell the user exactly what went wrong (e.g., "File is too big (5.8MB). Max allowed: 5MB").

4. UX Tip:

  - Use the state Is Uploading (yes/no) to show a spinner icon or disable your "Submit" button while the file is being processed to prevent premature clicks.



Using the Native Mobile Element (Free):

Place the Dropzone Mobile (Beta) element on your mobile page.

Fill in the 3 available fields: Placeholder Text, Accepted Files (e.g., image/*, application/pdf), and Max File Size (MB).

When a user selects a file, the plugin will read it locally and trigger the Upload Complete event.

The External Upload Technique: Since native mobile apps cannot use Bubble's internal S3 uploader automatically, the plugin exposes the file as a text string in the Base64 Value state.

Create an external "Save" or "Upload" button in your app. In its workflow, use a "Save Base64 to Bubble" action (or send it to your backend API) using the plugin's Base64 Value and File Name states.

Once saved, use the plugin's Clear Uploader action to reset the UI!
