Descriptive summary

Related to Sufia 7.2

Create New Work page (Add files tab): The “+ Add files ...” button control is labeled “Browse” is exposed to screen reader (JAWS) and "Choose files" (VoiceOver), which is not as descriptive a label for the control.

Markup should be:

<label>Add Files
<input type="file" name="files[]" multiple="">
</label>

Expected behavior

Control label (text element) matches button label

Actual behavior

Nothing here is describing the input type file.

A WAVE browser test in Hyrax 3.5 and 4 beta2 shows that this element along with the Add Folder button does not actually have a label assigned, so this is still a problem.
