The addon Uploader Plus allows selection of a content type as well as entering any metadata during upload. The legacy Flash / HTML default uploaders also provide option to select the content type. They require either overriding of the web script controller JS or post-processing via a Surf extension module to define the list of content types (by default the list only has one entry and for that reason no select is shown). But such a customisation does not affect the drag-and-drop upload.
