 * Love it and I am used to Croco Jetengine and I find this plugin much more intuitive.
   which surprised me, so want to lash out with the PRO but confused as to why if
   you select media /image then one has to select form media library – why cant 
   you just drag and drop image from PC? But definitely would highly recommend. 
   Perhaps I am doing the image upload wrong too.

 * To answer your question, under the “permissions” tab, you can turn off the option“
   wp media library”

 * I was also looking for this and was excited to find an answer, but for the life
   of me, I can’t find the “permissions” tab.
    Is it in WordPress, ACF Frontend,
   Advanced Custom Fields, or somewhere else?

   best advantage then you are hiding HUGE alight under a bushel

 * I found a “WP Media Library” yes/no-toggle in the Elementor widget. However, 
   all that changes (on my site) is, if the user gets the upload tab or the media
   tab of the media library shown first. But it’s always the media libraray in the
   end. I’d also like a simple upload (preferrably drag and drop, but that’s just
   a bonus) without the media library window ever getting shown to the user.
