Description

would be great if you could add file attachments by drag'n'drop from the folder view. This would essentially pin them to the top, a bit similar to favouriting of course...
(drag and drop from outside of Nextcloud should still upload them I'd say, maybe THEN insert them right away, maybe not, not sure).

Research direction

Start with the workspace's folder view and trace the existing file-upload and favouriting behavior. Clarify whether dragging an internal file should pin it immediately, and whether an external drop should upload and insert it. Done requires an agreed interaction for both drag sources and corresponding behavior in the workspace.
