The best way to start a File-Drag for now, is the downloadURL as i know.

Like here in Nylas N1:
https://github.com/nylas/N1/blob/master/internal_packages/attachments/lib/attachment-component.cjsx#L67

But only Images and PDFs are able to Drop direct on an Application (MAC). Other file formats just can be copied to Folders.
I think I'm not the only one who is looking for a full native file drop and I think chromium offers that already.

On chrome://downloads/ its possible to Drag any File on an Application (Mac).

Is there maybe a way to access this Drag Function in electron or can it become a part of?
Multi File Drag would be very nice too! :)

I have no knowledge, about cc++ but it found that... :D
