## What it is
Angular File Upload is a module for AngularJS (v1.x) that adds file upload capabilities including drag-and-drop, upload progress, validation filters, and an upload queue. It supports native HTML5 uploads with an iframe fallback for older browsers and works with any server platform accepting standard HTML form uploads.

## Use cases
- upload files with drag and drop in an AngularJS app
- show file upload progress in AngularJS
- add a file upload queue with validation filters
- support file uploads in legacy browsers like IE8-9
- preview images with canvas before uploading
- upload multiple files at once in Angular 1.x

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy AngularJS 1.x application that needs file uploads
- you need drag-and-drop uploads with progress and queueing in Angular 1.x
- you must support very old browsers via iframe fallback

## When to avoid
- you are using modern Angular (2+) instead of AngularJS 1.x
- you are starting a new project and can use modern upload libraries
- you need actively maintained software with recent bug fixes
