Prebuilt file upload UI

Allow users to easily upload documents to their Moov account.

With the moov-file-upload drop, you can easily allow end users to upload important documents to their existing Moov account. The file upload Drop interacts directly with the upload file POST endpoint using JWTs to securely send data between your end user’s browser and Moov.

Visit our Drops 101 guide to learn the basics of properties, attributes, and initializing Drops.

Moov Drops require a secure HTTPS connection. If you don’t have a test environment with HTTPS enabled, we suggest setting up a hosting environment with ngrok, Netlify, or Vercel.
