   This plugin has its own `File` class, which is in no way related to the browser's native `File` class. This is intentional... but it was decision from way back in the day when browsers didn't really had a usable `File` class (outside of the readonly `File` instance obtained when using the `<input type="file">` field)
   
   Personally, I do agree, the plugin should avoid clobbering features provided by the browser. But changing this would probably require a discussion on the [mailing list](https://cordova.apache.org/contact/) as this plugin is a dependency of several other plugins. I suppose the simplest change (and simplest migration) would just change the clobber space to `cordova.file` or something.
