Byte Size Tips: Stop Using File Pickers – Just Drag and Drop Files to Upload Them

Every time I see somebody using an file picker to choose a file for upload, I shake my head. There’s a much simpler way to do it – just drag and drop it onto the upload form. This works really well on almost all social media sites, but it even works on old-school forms.

For Facebook and Twitter, just drag a picture straight into the new update box.

For an old-school form, drag the picture onto the “No File Chosen” text in the file picker. Your browser will automatically choose that file.
