## What it is
A lightweight AngularJS directive for uploading files via HTML5, with a FileAPI shim for cross-browser support. It handles drag-and-drop, progress, and validation for file uploads in Angular 1.x apps.

## Use cases
- upload files from an angularjs app
- drag and drop file upload in angular
- show upload progress for file uploads
- cross-browser file upload with fileapi shim
- validate files before uploading in angular

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x application needing file uploads
- you need drag-and-drop and progress support in an old Angular codebase

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project with modern Angular (2+), React, or Vue
- you need actively maintained software with recent security updates
