I’ve searched but have not found any function or feature in Pinegrow to create a drag and drop (D&D) file-uploading area on a webpage (see my attachment). Does this capability exist anywhere in the PG app? If not, has anyone built their own D&D for a site and care to share your how to? I’d like the object to upload to a specific folder on my site for client retrieval. (Meanwhile, I’ll continue to Google until I find something that will work for me). ![Screen Shot 2020-01-22 at 6.55.40 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/d/d72c366b8bef0ff1cec00ea25ad5a3346b88b8b4.png) ---

Basically this is a form feature. Pretty sure it requires some sort of PHP coding. I have an account with Jotforms which has an upload widget you can use on their forms, so that’s what I use when I need to have this on a client’s website. They do offer a free plan. Some other form companies also have free plans with the ability to accept file uploads (thought the number and size is probably limited.) I found this answer in Quora, which looks pretty complete [https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-make-a-website-where-users-can-upload-data](https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-make-a-website-where-users-can-upload-data) My advice, unless this just something personal you want for yourself, I’d tell the client it’s an add-on service with an additional monthly fee, and then use that money to pay for a service that allows you to embed forms/widgets into your websites to accept file uploads. ---

Thank AGAIN for your time and advice @Printninja. I talked to my friend Ray Borduin at WebAssist and their Databridge has a file upload feature that allows for a drag and drop and since I already use their extension in Dreamweaver, I used it. One can drag a file over the browse button and it senses the filename and will upload it… not slick but it works, See my latest project to review: [https://rjrwebz.com/encorebakery/uploads.html](https://rjrwebz.com/encorebakery/uploads.html). ---

Site looks great. I did spot a couple of typos on the Pastries page… What’s not to love about a tempting fruit-laden pastry garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, accompanied with a hot tea, a _ **favotite coffeee** _ blend or other beverage? ---
