    Hi,

    Easy question.

    I want to be able to accept files if the user drags them onto my game's window, at runtime. Is there a way to do that in 2020?

    Thank you,
    -Chilton

    The drag and drop behaviors are platform dependent and there is no implementation of this in UItoolkit.

    You will have to do the detection of the drag and drop implementation for your target platform first and then change the Ui based on the drag events.

    One such example of managing the native part: https://github.com/Bunny83/UnityWindowsFileDrag-Drop

    I hope this will get you started.
