to a dataframe. This dataframe contains one row for each selected file, and
the following columns:
\describe{
  \item{\code{name}}{The filename provided by the web browser. This is
  \strong{not} the path to read to get at the actual data that was uploaded
  (see
  \code{datapath} column).}
  \item{\code{size}}{The size of the uploaded data, in
  bytes.}
  \item{\code{type}}{The MIME type reported by the browser (for example,
  \code{text/plain}), or empty string if the browser didn't know.}
  \item{\code{datapath}}{The path to a temp file that contains the data that was
  uploaded. This file may be deleted if the user performs another upload
  operation.}
