Description

I nearly filed a request for uploading photos that aren't in my Photo Library until I noticed I can just drag them onto the compose window. Ideally this could be communicated to the user somehow? A separate attachment button that opens a file picker might also be an option on macOS.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the macOS compose window and the existing photo drag-and-drop behavior. Determine which design approach is in scope, then verify that the compose interface clearly communicates that photos can be dragged onto it.
