Upload Modules

HTML5 File API Module

File API Module is the preferred one. It is supported by all modern browsers such as IE10+, FireFox (3.6+), Chrome, Safari (5+), Opera, Safari for MAC. This module offers the richest functionality. When File API Module is used, RadCloudUpload can use the full functionally providedby the different Cloud Storage Providers. Files are uploaded on chunks in Azure Blob Storage and Amazon S3.

IFrame Module

IFrame Module is used to ensure compatibility for the older browsers, which don’t support HTML5 File API. Such browsers are IE9 or below. When IFrame Module files are uploaded at once chunks are not supported.
