To create a custom checkbox, wrap a container element, like <div>, with a

<div class="custom-control custom-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="customCheck"
name="example1">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="customCheck">Check this custom

$(this).val().split("\\").pop();
$(this).siblings(".custom-file-label").addClass("selected").html(fileName);
