I can drag in there and you can see that works as well. So I can bring up the Photos app here and I can find a photo that I want to post. You can also just drag and drop from the Photos app.
But having this advanced functionality of the site actually recognizing that you're dragging a photo there is something you'll find in Facebook and some other places but not everywhere. Sometimes there's just a little button that's says Choose image, or something like that, and you can drag it into that button.

Now the website has to have some pretty complex code to do that. You can see if I drag and drop it in here it's allowing me to actually put it in there. As a matter of fact a lot of interfaces, like Facebook, will allow you to actually drag and drop directly into the element. I can drag and drop that in there and that's all I need to do. So here I've got an image file in the Finder. For instance, if I go back to just choosing from the Finder I can actually drag and drop an image file I've got. I can pick the photo that I want to post and I hit Choose.īut these aren't my only options. So I can hit the spacebar again to actually zoom back out.

But when it's a File Open Dialogue like this you'll see some additional options.
All the stuff you see in the left sidebar of the Finder. But if the photo is in my Photos app then I won't see it here.īut you can look on the left sidebar and you'll see things like Favorites, iCloud, Location.
Now if I have a file I want to upload it's pretty easy. It brings up this File, Open Dialogue here. Now the Facebook interface is going to change all the time but basically I click on one of these and it's going to ask me to select a photo. I can click on Photo Video or Photo Video here. So here I am on my Facebook page and I want to create a new post.
