I love this, the drag especially, i've never seen the "just drag" file upload thing before without flash/java. It'd be really nice to see a drag file upload replace the typical file form input.

Excellent job.



Gmail had it for almost a year.


Gmail uses Flash (Adblock shows block Flash thingie).

Edit: upon further inspection, it seems Gmail indeed does use Flash [1], just for a different part of the upload process (progress bar?).

Drag and drop is only supported in Chrome and Firefox [2], so I suppose this is HTML5.

I don't think so. Maybe it falls back to flash on some browsers, but it works just fine on Chrome with flashblock enabled.
