 faq:
     - q: What is the best file upload library for Angular?
-      a: For a complete uploader against your own storage, upup or Uppy. Inside a PrimeNG app, PrimeNG FileUpload. For just a drop zone, ngx-file-drop.
+      a: For a complete uploader against your own storage, upup or Uppy. Inside a PrimeNG or DevExtreme app, that suite's upload component. For just a drop zone, ngx-file-drop, and for an upload queue behind your own markup, ng2-file-upload.
     - q: Which Angular upload libraries upload directly to S3?
       a: upup, with presigned URLs from your endpoint or @useupup/server, and Uppy, with its AWS S3 plugin. With the others you write the S3 signing and upload code yourself.
     - q: Does upup's Angular package include the image editor?
       a: No. The image editor ships in @useupup/react and @useupup/preact only. Everything else, including cloud drives, camera, screen capture and resumable uploads, works the same in Angular.
     - q: Is upup's Angular component standalone?
       a: Yes. UpupUploaderComponent is a standalone component with the selector upup-uploader. Add it to a standalone component's imports, or to an NgModule's imports.
     - q: Are these libraries free?
-      a: Yes. All five are MIT-licensed. FilePond's full image editor, Pintura, is a separate commercial product.
+      a: Most are. upup, ngx-file-drop, ng2-file-upload, FilePond and Uppy are MIT-licensed. PrimeNG is MIT through version 21; version 22 moved to the PrimeUI License, which is free for individuals and eligible small organizations and paid otherwise. DevExtreme needs a paid per-developer DevExpress license. FilePond's full image editor, Pintura, is a separate commercial product.

 **The short answer:** for an Angular uploader that sends files straight to your
 own S3-compatible bucket, with cloud drives and resumable uploads, use upup or
-Uppy. If your app already uses PrimeNG, its FileUpload component is the
-smallest step. ngx-file-drop only handles the drop zone, and FilePond gives you
-one polished component that posts to your server.

+### ng2-file-upload
+
+ng2-file-upload, from Valor Software, pairs an upload queue with two
+directives. Its `FileUploader` class holds the queue, per-file progress and
+filters such as a maximum size or allowed MIME types, and sends each file with
+`XMLHttpRequest` to a URL you set. The `ng2FileSelect` and `ng2FileDrop`
+directives connect it to a file input and a drop area; the file list, progress
+bars and buttons are your own markup. It can send the raw file instead of a

+### DevExtreme FileUploader
+
+FileUploader (`dx-file-uploader`) is one component in DevExpress's DevExtreme
+suite. It shows its own drop area, or you can point `dropZone` at another
+element. Its `instantly` and `useButtons` upload modes send files with Ajax
+requests to `uploadUrl`, and `useForm` submits them with an HTML form. Setting
+`chunkSize` splits files into chunks that your server merges (DevExpress
+documents ASP.NET and PHP handlers), and the `uploadFile` and `uploadChunk`
+functions replace the built-in requests with your own code. S3, cloud drives
+and resuming an interrupted upload are not built in; DevExpress publishes
+example projects that implement S3 and Azure Blob uploads with `uploadChunk`.
