Comment (by Lorelle):

 My thoughts: There are now two ways to upload. Drag and Drop and Select
 Files. Browser Uploader is the same as Select Files. Isn't it? OR is it
 just the uploader of last resort because Select Files is in the
 JavaScript? Is it time to pick two instead of having three?

 If you keep the three, here are my wording suggestions. If you are keeping
 just two, it still works.

 You can upload media files here without creating a post first. There are
 three options for uploading files: Drag and Drop, Select Files, or Browser
 Uploader.

 Drag and Drop

 1. Find the files you wish to upload on your computer's desktop or file
 manager.
 2. Select one or more files.
 3. Drag and drop them into the drag and drop box.
 4. WordPress will automatically upload images to the Media Library.

 Select Files or Browser Uploader

 1. Choose one of these two methods by clicking the button or link.
 2. Locate the files on your computer.
 3. Select one or more files.
 4. Click Open.
 5. WordPress will upload the images to the Media Library.

 Once images and files are uploaded to the Media Library, you may share
 them, add them to your site's content or Widget areas.
