It was renamed in v0.14.0. - Drag and drop, webcam, basic file manipulation (adding metadata, for example) and uploading via tus-resumable uploads or XHR/Multipart are all possible using just the Uppy client module. However, if you add [Companion](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/tree/master/packages/@uppy/companion) to the mix, your users will be able to select files from remote sources, such as Instagram, Google Drive and Dropbox, bypassing the client (so a 5 GB video isn’t eating into your users’ data plans), and then uploaded to the final destination. Files are removed from Companion after an upload is complete, or after a reasonable timeout. Access tokens also don’t stick around for long, for security reasons.
