Hello, 

I'm trying to upload a file following these steps: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2016/03/how-formio-uses-dropbox-as-a-file-backend-for-javascrip...

And I don't know how I can get the file from my HTML: 

<input id="inputFile" type="file" name="inputFile" accept="*">

Into my javascript like a file object selected in the file widget

There's a full example here of using the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK to upload a file from an input element that should be helpful:

Need more support?
