It would be great if the file upload feature could be improved to properly categorise and display MIME types in a more user-friendly manner.

Current Issues:

  1. Poor UI Design: The current interface truncates MIME types, making it difficult to distinguish between options. In some cases, users are forced to guess which MIME type to select.
  2. Lack of Categorisation: MIME types are displayed as raw strings without any grouping or clarification, which is confusing for non-technical users.
  3. Readability: The full MIME string is often not visible due to limited space or poor text wrapping.

Suggestions for Improvement:

  • User-Friendly Labels: Replace raw MIME strings with clear, human-readable labels (e.g., “Microsoft Word Document (DOCX)” instead of application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document).
  • Categorisation: Group MIME types by file type (e.g., “Documents”, “Images”, “Videos”) to make the selection process more intuitive.
  • Tooltips or Expandable Views: Allow users to view the full MIME string on hover or click for additional clarity.

By addressing these issues, the file upload UI would be much easier to use, especially for non-technical users.
