FileUploadInput

A "FileUploadInput" component is a user interface element used to allow users to select and upload files from their local devices to a web application or platform.

Use Cases:

✅ Uploading Files: The primary use case for a FileUploadInput component is to enable users to upload files, such as images, documents, videos, or any other file type, to a web application. This is useful in scenarios where user-generated content or file sharing is required.

✅ Profile Picture Upload: It can be used to allow users to upload or change their profile pictures, avatars, or other personal images.

✅ Document Submission: In educational or business applications, FileUploadInput components can be used for document submissions, assignments, or file sharing within teams or classes.

✅ Attachment Upload: When composing messages, emails, or comments, a FileUploadInput can be used for attaching files to enhance communication.

✅ Media Upload: In content-sharing platforms, users can use FileUploadInput to share media files like photos or videos with others.

Not to Use Cases:

❌ Non-File Actions: FileUploadInput components should not be used for actions unrelated to file uploading. For example, avoid using it as a button to navigate to a different page or perform non-file-related tasks.

❌ Complex File Management: Avoid using FileUploadInput for applications that require complex file management features like version control, folder organization, or file editing. These functionalities are typically beyond the scope of a simple FileUploadInput component.

❌ Security Risks: Be cautious about security risks associated with file uploads, such as potential malware or malicious files. Implement security measures, like file type validation and server-side checks, to mitigate these risks.
