Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Many tools, such as YNAB, allow to drag and drop files for import or upload. In fact, there is a prompt below this very text box i am entering, which states Paste, drop, or click to add files in the github UI.

I would like to drag and drop from my file manager into my browser the exported file to be processed into the currently active account, or from my browser's download manager into the page. This is something that I could do in YNAB, which I found to be Rather Nice given that i didnt have to wait for the OS file browser to load, reducing friction and frustration when doing my budgeting.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Information on HTML5 drag and drop detection, especially with typescript/react for demonstration: https://claritydev.net/blog/react-typescript-drag-drop-file-upload-guide

Teaching and learning

A note could be added in the onboarding, a UI element could fade in when it detects a file being dragged over the page, and could be added to the documentation when discussing import
