Google Docs Drag-And-Drop Images of The Desktop

Google introduced the facility to drag-and-drop images of the desktop into a “Google Docs” document. This latest attribute works with the new versions of Google Chrome (Google Chrome), Firefox (Firefox) and Safari (Safari), and Google (Google) says it plans to add more support for other browsers very soon. The feature works exactly as you would expect it and its same experience as in offline office document while drag and drop images. Rather than importing an image using the web uploader, entering in a URL or doing a Google Image Search, you just drag the item from your desktop into your Google Docs (Google Docs) document.

 

Drag-and-drop uploading is actually a appealing for a web app like Google Docs. Competitor Zoho (zoho) supports drag-and-drop for some of its apps, but dragging an image into a Zoho Writer file just ends up inserting a local file address into the document.

The process works pretty well and we had no problem taking images from our Windows Based System and putting them in a Google Doc using both Mozilla Firefox and the latest release of Google Chrome.

 

We had no any complaint at all, but with the fact that images still cannot be inserted with a float alignment, so that text fills the column to the left or right of an image, rather than starting a new line where the image ends. Again, this isn’t a criticism of the drag-and-drop feature, but a feature that’s lacking inGoogle Docs itself.

Thanks to HTML5, it’s getting easier and easier for developers to add features to web apps to make them behave more like desktop applications. We hope other online office suite takeGoogle’s hint.
