Feature: Drag and Drop From New Outlook

[dougransom]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Files.app (drop target) side
Ask the Files.app vendor whether they support Chromium/WebView2 “DownloadURL” drops and the async extraction pattern used by New Outlook. If they add that capability, your drag‑and‑drop will start working (Explorer already implements it). A Stack Overflow thread explains the technical requirement and confirms Explorer is one of the few apps that handle it today. [stackoverflow.com]

Requirements

• This proposal will allow a new outlook user to drag and drop a file into a folder.
