# File Drop

> A native file input you can drag files onto, which checks file type/size/count on drop, lists what was chosen with a remove button for each, and announces every change in words for screen readers. Ported to React from Susegad UI's sg-file-drop web component (MIT, Sarat Chandra Gnanamgari / Asymmetrica), including its "warm" skin's animated pillar-postbox illustration.
