I am trying to use html input type “input type=“file” id=“files” name=“files” multiple” but it seems (I’ve just learned) that this is not allowed in python dash. Then I discovered dcc.upload. I am trying to select multiple files and return the list of selected files. I’ve managed to use the example here (Upload | Dash for Python Documentation | Plotly) and get the selection listed, but it only works for files with small size. I have four files and one of them is 2.8 GB, so it lists the other ones but not this one.
I don’t want to upload anything, I just want to be able to use html input file type and get a list of selected files. If you look at the selected answer here (javascript - How to display selected file names before uploading multiple files in Struts2? - Stack Overflow) it does exactly what I am trying to do using python dash. But python dash doesn’t allow this input type and dcc.upload doesn’t work with large file sizes.
Could you please tell me if this is possible in dash? If so, I’ve been unable to find how to do this anywhere on the web.
Thank you in advance.
