Description
Currently, file.video allows a user to upload a video by clicking "Upload Video", and selecting from their file browser.
This request is for a feature which allows a user to simply drag-and-drop a video file from their file browser, onto the file.video page, and for file.video to upload this video file.

Research direction
Start by locating the file.video page and the existing "Upload Video" flow, then trace how selected video files are handled. Compare the page's current upload behavior with the requested drag-and-drop interaction. Done means a video dragged from the file browser onto the page is uploaded successfully alongside the existing selection flow.
