Just a thought - is the text “Click to upload” with a cloud icon perhaps a bit misleading?

If it’s fully client side, then you are just opening a file in essence - no clouds in sight!

Yeah, if the author sees this, it would be best to change this to "Click to Open". We can argue about the icon (I would say the floppy image), but seeing the word "upload" with a cloud icon 1000% means "send this up to the Internet."

I agree something like a folder or file icon would be more accurate.

I guess UI-wise some changes wouldn't be bad, but I am just glad it works. I am currently converting an ancient .mpg into a .mp4; I could do so via ffmpeg from the commandline, but I always forget which options to use, so a GUI kind of frees brain space here.
