There is a more efficient image Uploader than the one integrated in Forms?
You cannot drop the files and, as it starts to upload only when you submit the form, instead of starting once the user has selected the picture, if you have more than one image field it takes really long to complete.

Any tip is appreciated. Thanks

In the Form settings you can choose the option "Use the WordPress Media Library manager for image, video, audio, or file fields".

That will use the native WP Media Uploader, where you can drag and drop multiple files at once and which are uploaded while completing the form and before submitting it.

It's only available to logged-in users, though. That's a limitation of the WP Media Uploader itself, it won't work with guest users.

In that case you can only use the simple uploader you are already familiar with.

If I enable "Use the WordPress Media Library manager for image, video, audio, or file fields", how can I allow uploads but disable access to the media library?

If you don't want users seeing media uploaded by other users then you can use Access to manage permissions for the Media post type and control who has rights to edit what, removing the rights to "Edit any" from the relevant roles.
