Simplest (and cheapest) way to upload/store/retrieve images

You should be fine with File.SomeModule. If anything I’d give a more accurate name instead of File. E.g. your modules seem to deal with images specifically so a more helpful name might be File.Image or ImageFile or even Image.

I also wouldn’t worry specifically about the elm/* packages. It’s more of a general issue, like if you used elm-ui 1.1.8 then you wouldn’t be able to name any of your local modules Element. I’d focus more on giving your modules names that make sense when you’re looking at the name along.

Exactly!

Which makes sense because a csv file is a specialized text file. If you open it in your text editor it’s still legible.

ImageSelected file ->
      ( model
      , Task.perform (ImageLoaded (File.name file)) (File.toString file)
      )

ImageLoaded filename content ->
      ( { model
            | image = Just content
            , imageName = filename
        }
      , Cmd.none
      )

can be converted to

ImageSelected file ->
      ( { model | imageName = File.name file }
      , Task.perform ImageLoaded (File.toString file)
      )

ImageLoaded content ->
      ( { model
            | image = Just content
        }
      , Cmd.none
      )

there’s no need to pass the name through the message+update loop again (as best I can tell).

A small stylistic opinion. I’d merge all of your File_.* modules into a single module. A module should generally be a container of sorts around a specific type. I’d also recommend Components | Elm Land for a very solid guide about how to model your component like modules.
