This example uploads a single file using dropzone js library. By default, dropzone is a multiple file uploader and does not have specific option allowing us to switch to single file uploading mode, but this functionality can be achieved by adding more options to the plugin settings, such as maxfilesexceeded callback and maxFiles option set to 1. maxFiles: 1 is used to tell dropzone that there should be only one file.

Now only 1 file can be selected and it will be replaced with another one instead of adding it to the preview.
