Is this particulary tricky functionality to implement?

  Not for modern browsers. http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/dnd/basics/ http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/dnd/basics/

  It's surprising they didn't have this earlier. I particularly like http://imgur.com http://imgur.com 's implementation

  To get started quickly, there are quite a few comprehensive uploaders on github We use a modified version of https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload on http://picplum.com http://picplum.com Signup and see how we use it. We've been told many times that we have a slick uploader :)

    PPK is discussing general drag-and-drop functionality in the browser, not the file-specific drag-and-drop. Dragging files from your desktop into the browser to upload is fairly simple to implement and works consistently on HTML5 compatible browsers.

  To get it working in three modern browsers, no. To get it working in all the browsers that your users use, it's trickier.
