Searching for a multiple file upload - javascript

I'm looking for a multiple file upload button. the ones I've found are
swfupload
uploadify
and a jquery plugin: http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/multiple-file-upload/
I want to integrate it in a django app. ATM the only one which is working without any problems and is in widespread use seems to be swfupload.
Am I right or am I missing another one?

SWFUpload is the way to go. I've used it in several apps and has the best features out of any of them.

Drag and Drop file and folder uploading

I have ran into a problem: I need to allow a website visitor to drag and drop files AND folders, and handle the upload. Since it is supposed to be a image upload, I need to differentiate between those two before doing any actual uploading.
Question: How to know if dropped item is a file, or a folder? Using webkitGetAsEntity is almost ideal, but obviously, it does not work on neither IE or Firefox (need support for both of them).
Libraries used: I can use AngularJs, jQuery and simple javascript. Using other libraries is not possible.
Can anyone give me any suggestions here?

Can you recommend an alternative for Telerik upload contorol?

Thanks in advance.
Have you looked at Uploadify?
Uploadify is a jQuery plugin that integrates a fully-customizable multiple file upload utility on your website
Uploadify is a great multiple file uploader. It was built off of the popular SWFUpload and they added new features to it.
Some of the features that I have found most helpful are:
The user can upload all the files at once using ctrl + clicking on all of
the files
As the files are being downloaded a queue is displayed which
shows the files being downloaded including a completeion bar.
As files are completed they are removed from the queue
It also allows you to specify which file types the user is
able to download (they can only see the ones you choose)
The main downfall is that it is a flash uploader if that is a problem for you.
I personally use Plupload http://www.plupload.com/ as it has some great options.

Multiple file upload (client side)

I'm looking for multiple file upload component with alternative ways.
I need HTML5, Flash and normal upload support, depended by device.
I don't like FancyUpload, because it uses mootools and mootools is very big library.
Also I can't use jQuery, because I'm writing on Ext js and it's not good idea to use two big library like jQuery and Ext js.
I can write it myself but I don't have a time.
If everyone knows any library like this, please post link here.
Thanks!
I am a big fan of Plupload
Here is an example of all run times supported (Flash, HTML4, HTML5, etc...): http://www.plupload.com/example_all_runtimes.php
You can also include only the run times you want.
Here is an ExtJS 4 wrapper I wrote for SWFUpload: https://github.com/JarvusInnovations/Ext.ux.SWFUpload
I'm interested in having a more robust ExtJS4 upload widget though that supports HTML5 and normal form upload too. Maybe we can build one if nothing else turns up.

Component to upload multiple images with client side crop

I'm looking a quick way to add an (multi) image unloader with client side crop to an ASP.NET MVC site and for some reason the search seems to be much more complicated than I thought :(
upload image (can be via form post or custom, just has to work with ASP.NET)
custom crop possibility before upload
(preferred) multiple images at once
It doesn't matter if js/jquery, silverlight or flash is used, it just has to work, its an internal application and I can force people to have the necessary plugins installed.
Basically this is exactly what I want:
http://i-load.radactive.com/
But they are out of business and it seems impossible to get a license :(
**UPDATE**
This should be an all in one solution, I currently do not have the time to figure out how to connect multiple components.
I'm willing to purchase a component that does this, but I simply can't find one, which I find rather strange.
An internal application where you are comfortable with ASP.NET then Silverlight would be the good direction to look in.
There is free multiple file uploader which is designed to work with an ASP.NET server end here: http://silverlightuploader.codeplex.com/
There are number of ways to manipulate an image in Silverlight, either natively or with other Silverlight tools such as: http://writeablebitmapex.codeplex.com/
Finally you can re-encode images to common formats such as PNG with: http://imagetools.codeplex.com/
Whether you could actually combine these as is to acheive your goals would be another matter.

What is the best multiple file JavaScript / Flash file uploader?

Specifically, I'm looking for a client-side, JavaScript and / or Flash based multiple file uploader. The closest thing I've found is FancyUpload. Anyone have experience with it? If not, what else is out there?
Yahoo's YUI Uploader is your friend.
Uploadify is a jQuery / Flash hybrid (if you don't feel like adding in YUI just to handle uploads).
Demo
How to implement
SWFUpload is probably the leading "competitor" to that.
Alternatives to SWFUpload:
YUI Uploader
jqUploader (jQuery plugin)
Flash/AJAX File Upload w/ Progress Server Control (ASP .NET based)
Plupload seems to be interesting...
It looks like a new entry into this field is 'jQuery file upload':

Agile Uploader now supports multiple files as of version 2.0.
http://www.shift8creative.com/projects/agile-uploader/index.html
Here's a direct link to a demo:
http://www.shift8creative.com/agile-uploader/examples/all_files.php
It allows all types of files and can actually resize images before upload to help save on bandwidth costs and server processing power.
I've used FancyUpload plenty of times and it's absolutely fantastic. The only problem (but this is true for most flash uploaders, I guess) is session handling - if you're using sessions you're going to have to pass along the session ID to the flash file and back again.
digitarald (the author) has a new version of FancyUpload in beta now that works with Flash 10 (something a lot of the other uploaders don't). According to him it should be very simple to upgrade from FancyUpload2 to the new version, once it's released.
Google Gears solution with client-side image resizing (mine, sorry for advertisment)
Dropzone worked for me for simple drag-and-drop functionality that degrades gracefully. Very easy to set up.
