The FileItem object set the alias to "file", and there is no easy way to change this. This makes it impossible to have a general backend that can determine action of the uploaded file based on the "name=file" form data.

I currently have to file drop's on my view, each with a distinct role. But, both are uploaded with a name of "file", so I don't know which is which.

Suggest adding an actual "name" input to the ng2-file-drop that can override the "alias" field for that item.

actually what I did to get by this was change
(click)="item.upload()"
to
(click)="item.alias = newname; item.upload()" just pass newname through your component class

Thx @adeteejay. I ended up just using a custom tokenized upload URL, instead of worrying about the field name. It worked cleaner for my situation, but I like the simplicity of your solution.
