File manager drag files out of the component

Hi,


Is there a way to allow files to be dragged out of the file manager component? Our end users would like to have the ability to drag files out of the file manager component and drop them into email without having to download them on their computer.

Hi Nick,


Greetings from Syncfusion support.


With the shared details, we clearly understand that you want to perform the external drag and drop functionality(enable seamless drag-and-drop export of files directly to external applications like email clients, bypassing the need for intermediate downloads) in the Blazor FileManager component. Thanks for reaching out about this feature request for the Syncfusion Blazor File Manager component.


Currently, the File Manager supports drag-and-drop operations internally (for moving files/folders within the component) and externally for uploads (dragging files from your local system into the File Manager). However, dragging files out of the component to external targets like desktop folders or email composers isn't natively supported yet. This limitation keeps drag actions confined to the component's boundaries.


Regards,
