In my case above mentioned methods work fine with php but when i try to upload files with these methods in node.js then i have some problem. So instead of using $http({..,..,...}) use the normal jquery ajax.

For select file use this

<input type="file" name="file" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().uploadFile(this)"/>

And in controller

$scope.uploadFile = function(element) {   
var data = new FormData();
data.append('file', $(element)[0].files[0]);
jQuery.ajax({
      url: 'brand/upload',
      type:'post',
      data: data,
      contentType: false,
      processData: false,
      success: function(response) {
      console.log(response);
      },
      error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorMessage) {
      alert('Error uploading: ' + errorMessage);
      }
 });   
};

You can try ng-file-upload angularjs plugin  instead of ng-upload    It s fairly easy to setup and deal with angularjs specifics  It also supports progress  cancel  drag and drop and is cross browser   html   lt  -- Note  MUST BE PLACED BEFORE angular js-- gt   lt script src  ng-file-upload-shim min js  gt  lt  script gt    lt script src  angular min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script src  ng-file-upload min js  gt  lt  script gt     lt div ng-controller  MyCtrl  gt     lt input type  file  ngf-select  onFileSelect  files   multiple gt   lt  div gt    JS     inject angular file upload directives and service  angular module  myApp     ngFileUpload      var MyCtrl       scope     upload   function  scope   upload       scope onFileSelect   function  files           files  an array of files selected  each file has name  size  and type      for  var i   0  i  lt   files length  i            var file    files i          scope upload    upload upload           url   server upload url     upload php script  node js route  or servlet url         data   myObj   scope myModelObj           file  file           progress function evt            console log  percent      parseInt 100 0   evt loaded   evt total             then function response            var data   response data             file is uploaded successfully         console log data

There s little-no documentation on angular for uploading files  A lot of solutions require custom directives other dependencies  jquery in primis    just to upload a file      After many tries I ve found this with just angularjs  tested on v 1 0 6   html   lt input type  file  name  file  onchange  angular element this  scope   uploadFile this files    gt    Angularjs  1 0 6  not support ng-model on  input-file  tags so you have to do it in a  native-way  that pass the all  eventually  selected files from the user   controller   scope uploadFile   function files        var fd   new FormData          Take the first selected file     fd append  file   files 0          http post uploadUrl  fd            withCredentials  true          headers    Content-Type   undefined            transformRequest  angular identity        success     all right       error    damn              The cool part is the undefined content-type and the transformRequest  angular identity that give at the  http the ability to choose the right  content-type  and  manage the boundary needed when handling multipart data
