Best for: A square image grid under a large drop zone, where a zoom button opens the full picture in a Dialog, with a total size and Clear all

When to use

Profile pictures and cover banners replaced by one pick or drop, with an instant local preview
Multi file drop zones that check type, size and count, then list picks as thumbnails, cards or table rows
Upload queues with per file progress and retry, and photo grids put in order by drag before saving

When not to use

Mixed documents where each one needs a progress bar and a retry: use the File Upload Progress List example
Chips for files sent with a chat message, in the composer or the reply: use the Attachment component
A colored document icon labeled with its format, such as PDF or XLSX: use the File Type component
A meeting or booking form where an image drop is one field among many: use the Schedule blocks

Agent notes

defaultImages seeds 3 picsum.photos URLs through initialFiles; load the user's saved images there or drop the option
The zoom and remove Button pair on each tile appears on hover only with no accessible names; add labels and a focus reveal
No example sends a picked File to a server; picks stay in React state until you add the upload request
