-Is there a way to fill the file input with the right filename from a file drop? I've already read all the answers at drag drop files into standard html file input
However, no answer there works for Angular 4. I guess there is always a problem with Typescript I cannot see.
you can achieve it by either creating a fileupload directive or use existing modules on npm. i would recommend use a existing module because it would be well tested already. and you can easily import it in your solution
here are some references to the modules on npm
also here is a tutorial how create a file drop directive . Drag and Drop file directive in angular2
