I get the error "Dropzone already attached." when creating the Dropzone.

This is most likely due to the autoDiscover feature of Dropzone.

When Dropzone starts, it scans the whole document, and looks for elements with the dropzone class. It then creates an instance of Dropzone for every element found. If you, later on, create a Dropzone instance yourself, you'll create a second Dropzone which causes this error.

So you can either:

1. Turn off autoDiscover globally like this: Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;, or
2. Turn off autoDiscover of specific elements like this: Dropzone.options.myAwesomeDropzone = false;
