Summary

This module provides a default Entity Browser that lets you browse and select your files in a nice-looking, mobile-ready Masonry based interface, and upload files using the Dropzonejs module.

The purpose of this module is to bring back the Media Library experience from Drupal 7, without requiring users to standardize on contributed projects like File Entity and Media Entity.

Since this module was developed a media entities and libraries have been developed directly within Drupal core and should probably be utilised over the contributed media entity and entity browser modules. However, if your preference is to use the contrib modules or you're minimally migrating to newer versions of Drupal core, this module will continue to work with the latest supported versions.
