File input

Collapsed

Only applicable on non-mobile devices (medium and up breakpoints).

Single file mode

When :multiple="false" is set, only one file can be selected at a time.

Hidden input opened via link button

In space-constrained areas, you can allow file upload with just an inline link button by making use of the openFilePicker exposed by the file input. If you put a template ref on the file picker, you'll be able to call openFilePicker from any button's click handler.
