FileUpload from API to MVC

I have HTML page and I call web api to upload file. My client side code is:

<input name="file" type="file" id="load-image" />
<script>
...
var data = new FormData();
var files = $("#load-image").get(0).files;
data.append("UploadedImage", files[0]);

var ajaxRequest = $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: "/UploadImage",
          contentType: false,
          processData: false,
          data: data
 });

And server side code:

public class FileUploadController : ApiController
{
 [HttpPost]
 public void UploadImage()
 {
   if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.AllKeys.Any())...

It works. Now I would like to do the same in MVC project. I have client side code the same, but server side code is little different.

Base class of controller is Controller(not api controller) and when I try this:

public class FileUploadController : ApiController
    [HttpPost]
    public void UploadImage()
    {
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.AllKeys.Any())

I get error that 'System.Web.HttpContextBase' does not contain a definition for 'Current'...

What should I change in MVC that file upload will work the same as in webApi? Client side code is the same?

There is a related question here: System.Web.HttpContextBase' does not contain a definition for 'Current' MVC 4 with Elmah Logging

Long story short: Controller has a HttpContext.Current of himself implemented as

public HttpContextBase HttpContext { get; }

therefore u should use:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current
