Firefox Plugin: Enable “Drag and Drop” for attachments in Gmail

Posted in » Firefox - by Ades on December 29th, 2008

When sending attachments using Gmail in your favorite browser (firefox), have you wished - only if you could drag the files into the attachment field? Instead of the normal clicking “browse” button and locating the file in your directories?

Well, rejoice! DragDropUpload plugin helps you do that. With this plugin you can just drag the files into attachment fields (not just in Gmail, but in any other website).

Not only that, in some sites you can even drag multiple files into the attachment field. It works perfectly with Gmail (see screenshots below).

Dragging and dropping multiple files in Gmail will automatically create and place each file in separate attachment fields.

If you are not a “browse and locate” person like me, this plugin will be very useful for you.

Plugin URL: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2190

    Great recommendation thank you. As I use Gmail often and pretty much always send attachments, this is an excellent tool to have installed on my Firefox browser.

    I have used this plugin on my Mac. It worked great when used properly, but FireFox consistently crashed when the someone tried to drag files from within an application (iPhoto) into FireFox.

    @Minnesota, that’s a serious bug, perhaps you can notify the authors about it.
