You can also use the FileReference ActionScript class in flash. This will not allow you to drop a file and get it uploaded (will it?) but it supports multiple file selection. There are some implementations in javascript that make use of this flash feature to upload multiple files interactively (search for SWFUpload in google, but there are others as well). But surely enough... if you require such a thing as drag and drop for files your best bet is a Java Applet.
