## Description

react-dropzone is a reusable React UI component for implementing HTML5 drag-and-drop file transfers. It provides a React file upload component that manages file selection and drop zone states within a web application.

The project enables the creation of interactive file upload interfaces where users can drag files from their local system or select them via a file browser. It integrates with the native system file picker dialog and supports the File System Access API.
