I wish to develop a multi-file upload feature for my ASP.NET 3.5 web application. The multi-file uploader used in Google Docs seems impressive, and I aim to replicate a similar experience. Since I believe Google Docs is proprietary, I won’t have access to its source code. Could anyone share insights or suggest effective methods to build an engaging multi-file upload interface like the one in Google Docs?
One effective way to create an engaging multi-file upload feature in ASP.NET is by integrating HTML5 and JavaScript libraries like Dropzone.js or Fine Uploader. These libraries provide a seamless drag-and-drop functionality and are highly configurable. You can handle multiple file uploads with progress bars and thumbnail previews, enhancing user experience. On the server side, you can use ASP.NET’s asynchronous features to handle large files efficiently without blocking the server. This method helps achieve a sophisticated UI/UX similar to Google Docs.
