A few weeks ago, while attending an IT conference, I heard one of the developers saying that the next version of their webapp will allow users to upload the files from their desktop using simple drag&drop. I immediately thought it’s a great feature in some scenarios:
- you can simply drop the file you working with to the browser instead of using the upload button and going through all you directory hierarchy to point it
- you can upload many files at once
- you get rid of those ugly upload fields and buttons
