Answer 1

Solved issue by using following code setup.

So you can either:

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

Reference:
FAQ on dropzone

Answer 2

Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
$('#bannerupload').dropzone({
    url: "/upload",
    maxFilesize: 100,
    paramName: "file",
    maxThumbnailFilesize: 5,
    init: function() {      
      this.on('success', function(file, json) {       
        jQuery("input#mediaid").val(json);
      });
    }
  });

Nothing worked for me so i went to the dropzone.js file and change the line that throw an error (i think in many versions it's in line 426):

if (this.element.dropzone) {
    throw new Error("Dropzone already attached.");
  }

so i replace

throw new Error("Dropzone already attached.");

with

return this.element.dropzone;

and it is working

Answer 4

I was facing same issue "Dropzone already attached" because we enabled myDropzone object in the script and were trying to enable again.

For example

if ($('#upl').attr('class')) {

var myDropzone = new Dropzone("#upl", {init: function () {

and again trying to enable it

 if (jQuery('#password').attr('save_profile')) {
  var myDropzone = new Dropzone("#upl", {init: function () {

with another action.

Please check your code.

Put your create dropzone code inside of a try/catch block

try{
 $('.dropzone').dropzone({
    url: '/upload'
  });
}
catch(error){
    console.log("Catching " + error);
}
