Send files by copy-paste

[hohlfury]

May I ask you to add the ability to transfer files by copying the file in the explorer and pasting into the chat?

That's not something a browser supports conventionally.
If you paste a file from Windows Explorer into http://madebyevan.com/clipboard-test/ it does not work.

I'm talking about a desktop client :)

Which is just element-web inside Electron which is Embedded Chromium

This is possible on MacOS which actually copies the file.
Linux copies the path which we cannot access, Windows copies some internal reference iirc

If you want this to work on Element-Desktop I suggest opening an electron bug about this
