Currently, the DropZone is always rendered around the Telerik UI Upload widget and there is no built-in option that can be used in order to not render the DropZone. 

In order to hide the DropZone, the following is required:

<style>
     #wrapper {
       display: inline-block;
     }

     .k-upload {
       border-width: 0;
     }

     .k-upload .k-dropzone {
       padding: 0;
     }

     .k-upload-status-total {
       display: none;
     }
   </style>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
      //Removing the "Drop files here message"
      $("#files").closest(".k-upload").find(".k-dropzone em").remove();
    });
  </script>

However, if Boostrap is used, additional steps are needed - all the necessary classes should be returned accordingly:

<script>
  $("#files").ready(function(){
       $("#files").closest(".k-dropzone").removeClass("k-dropzone").addClass("form-control").addClass("col-md-3");
   });
</script>

If we have a upload control with simple validation on allowed extensions and upload 50 files, the "k-upload-status" element prematurely gets set to "Done" once it finds a file type that is not allowed.  If a user is not paying attention they could think that the upload is complete.  It seems silly to mark an entire queue of files as "Done" after the first failure while uploading multiple items and while items are still uploading.  While the upload may technically be "done" it really failed and should say "Partially done" or some other message than "Done".

Also, placing an exclamation icon next to done is not very clear when an file does legitimately fail.  The icon needs to be more prevalent and have a tooltip to describe it further.  Most of my users in production have not noticed the icon and have thought that the upload completed.  This is especially a problem if a user is uploading thousands of files and does not scroll down during/after upload.

It would help a lot if we could prepopulate the kendoUpload field file list also in synchronous mode.

Filter just certain types of files by extension (.csv, .doc, .jpg, etc.).

When we upload files with the Kendo Upload, it would be nice to upload them sequentially, in separate requests

Hi Team,

I would like to request a built-in event which would fire when any validation fails within the Kendo UI Upload.  

Thank you!

Scenario: Imagine you implemented upload widget within grid and it can upload multiple files. After you upload, you realize you need to delete one of the uploaded file. Currently you cannot choose to delete either of the uploaded multiple files in edit mode. It would be nice to display preuploaded files in upload widget when the grid is in edit mode, so that user can delete the files that are not necessary anymore.

The Upload widget would be vastly more useful if it could upload with the  PUT as this would enable direct to S3 or GCS PUTs.

currently i can retrieve lastmodifieddate by using onUpload() event, but i cannot retrieve creation date. i hope kendo can update the kendo upload that can provide creationdate.

Incorporate some mechanism which will allow us to handle situations where a file is uploaded, yet the target folder already has a file with the same name.  i.e. An event that is fired we can trap which will allow us to rename the file, then save it.

There seem to be only 3 MVVM bindings supported for the upload tool right now:  enabled, visible, and events.  If you are using Kendo templates to host this tool, this is kind of a deal breaker if you need to bind any data to the upload tool, e.g. files.  Please add files at a minimum.

because .k-file.k-file-success <li> removal is deffered and so is still present on success event.

The current upload control does not allow the PUT verb. This means you cannot use it with Amazon S3 without implementing a proxy server. The problem with the proxy server approach is that it places unneeded strain on your own servers and you get charged twice for data transfer, once on the way in to the proxy server and again from the proxy server to S3.

It would be nice to have xhr in upload's remove event handler since sometimes we need to modify/add http headers on request.

It woudl be great if we coudl access an images dimensions on upload, to avoid having to do server trips to determine if an image is valid.

Hi. I'd love to use the file upload widget, but, like most devs, I need to do more than just upload a file.....html does that just fine. I need to be able to save the file name and size, possibly the extension, in a mysql database using php.

Please consider these enhancements to the file upload widget for the next release. I know you all are working on PHP wrappers and I hope a lot more documentation and tutorials for us PHP developers, so an upgrade like this, or a tutorial on the site that provides a working example of saving file details to the database using PHP could be added easily.

Thanks and keep the PHP stuff coming! It's making a huge difference and I think, based on the number of votes here, there are a ton of folks interested in using Kendo UI with PHP.

Upload for MVC lucks upload in chunks feature as upload for ajax. So it is impossible to upload large files (like more than technical limit for asp.net in 4Gb). In my current project with 360 degrees videos where files might be 10+ Gb it is vital.

when we want to storage files directly to Azure storage we need first to upload the files to the server and then upload from the server to the azure storage...
why there isn't an option like RadCloudUpload that support cloud storage providers ?

In order to be able to manage files attached to server objects, it would be nice if we could bind the Upload widget to a datasource. 
The read() method of the datasource could be used to load the widget with the list of files attached to a given server object. 
The create() method would be used to upload new files to the sever.
The destroy() method would be used for deleting existing files on the server.

This would make the upload widget more consistent with other widgets like the combo boxes or the dropdown lists.
