Drag and Drop File Upload for Elementor Forms

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 39% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers like how small and focused it is, with the translation option singled out, though one notes the button colour settings don't take effect.

   A nice and small extension, just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the colors of the button, which I can choose in the elements options, are not applied, the standard colors stay in use. This could probably be fixed easily.

   translate option of this plugin is very useful, even normal elementor upload field does not have this option.

   Thanks for this. It should be native functionality in Elementor. What is the difference between free and pro versions?
