When you want users to upload several files at once, you need to use the multiple attribute on the file input element in your HTML. This attribute allows users to select more than one file from their device in the file picker dialog. FilePond detects this attribute and enhances the user experience by displaying each selected file as a separate item in its interface. You can see each file listed with its own progress bar, preview (if supported), and remove button, making it easy for users to manage their uploads. The FilePond configuration also accepts the allowMultiple option, which should be set to true to ensure the plugin fully supports multiple file handling in the UI. This combination gives users a smooth and intuitive way to upload and review several files at the same time.
