This sample is designed for a larger screen size.

On mobile, try rotating your screen, view full size, or email to another device.

The HTML editor widget can be used with HTML Drag and Drop API and File API specification in order to easily represent file object in the web application or the widget itself, as well programmatically selct them and access their data.
In HTML5, drag and drop is part of the standard, and any element could be draggable, event external files from the desktop.
Note: You can upload only images with a size smaller than 1 MB.
