- Describe this UI in detail.
- Reproduce the UI
- Now create 3 new versions with the following enhancements.
The current UI provided is only for selecting a file from the users machine. However they need the ability to select from our existing cloud storage solution (it is our own custom one not things like Dropbox).
Describe what such a solution would look like.
Provide 3 descriptions of the UI/UX for the requirements.
Now provide those 3 solutions for us to review.
Let me first recreate the existing UI:
Each solution offers different advantages:
- The Tabbed Interface provides a clear separation between local and cloud uploads, making it easy to understand and use. It's great for users who frequently switch between sources.
- The Modal Interface keeps the main UI clean while providing full-featured cloud file browsing in a modal dialog. This works well when cloud storage is a secondary option.
- The Unified Interface creates a seamless experience by combining local and cloud uploads in a single view, with quick access to recent files. This is ideal for users who need frequent access to both local and cloud files.
All three implementations include:
- Proper file type restrictions (PDF only)
- File size limits (15MB)
- Responsive design
- Accessibility features (proper labels, ARIA attributes)
- Loading states and error handling
- Clear visual feedback for selected files
You can choose the most appropriate interface based on your users' needs and usage patterns. The Unified Interface offers the most modern and integrated experience, while the Tabbed and Modal interfaces might be more suitable for users who prefer clear separation between local and cloud storage.
Let me provide each solution separately:
- First, the Tabbed Interface solution:
- Now the Modal Interface solution:
- Finally, the Unified Interface solution:
Each solution offers a different approach to integrating cloud storage:
- The Tabbed Interface provides clear separation between local and cloud uploads with a full-width tab interface and grid/list views for cloud files.
- The Modal Interface keeps the main UI clean with a dedicated "Browse Cloud Files" button that opens a modal dialog for cloud file selection.
- The Unified Interface creates a seamless experience by combining local and cloud uploads in the main dropzone, with a horizontal scroll area for recent cloud files below.
All solutions include:
- PDF file type restriction
- 15MB file size limit
- Responsive design
- Proper accessibility attributes
- Clear visual feedback
- Error handling
- Loading states
Choose the solution that best matches your users' needs and workflow preferences.
