Is there any progress on this?

I really need to include .zip files, and building (and rebuilding each new version) seems like a bad idea.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We will fix this issue in the future.

Until then you can fix this problem on your own responsibility in the source code by modyfing _checkAcceptedExtensions(file) method and build it with help of these instructions: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/getting-started/webpack-starter/#section-custom-version-of-mdb-ui-kit

All you need to do is to handle different mime types. Method should look like this:

_checkAcceptedExtensions(file) {

    const mimeTypes = [
      { mime_type: 'application/x-abiword', ext: '.abw' },
      { mime_type: 'application/x-freearc', ext: '.arc' },
