Description
New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
- I am not disclosing a vulnerability.
- I am not just asking a question.
- I have searched through existing issues.
Current Limitation
Uploading a file in the data browser is only possible by opening a file picker dialog. That can be cumbersome, because one has to navigate to the file also if the file is already accessible in a finder window.
Feature / Enhancement Description
Allow to upload a file by dragging it into the file field in the data browser.

Research direction
Start by locating the data browser's file field and its existing file-picker upload flow in the dashboard. Verify how file values are handled, then implement drag-and-drop support and confirm that dropping a file uploads it successfully without removing the existing picker behavior.
