You can achieve this behavior by overriding the corresponding uploader styles. Override the following styles to hide the default drop area behavior.
* .e-upload.e-control
* .e-upload .e-file-select
* .e-upload .e-file-drop
import { Uploader } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
// initialize uploader component
let uploadObject: Uploader = new Uploader({
asyncSettings: {
saveUrl: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/services/api/uploadbox/Save',
removeUrl: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/services/api/uploadbox/Remove'
}
});
// render initialized Uploader
uploadObject.appendTo('#fileupload');
