The Drag & Drop Enhancement is a powerful update that lets you easily upload entire folders—including their full internal structure—directly into Digs. Whether you’re working in the floor plan view or folder system view, you can now set up your project faster and with fewer clicks.

🧰 Key Features

  3. Flexible Organization
    Rearrange files or folders at any time using drag-and-drop functionality within the file system.

💡 Why Builders Love It

Builders like shared that uploading large sets of project documents was time-consuming and clunky. This enhancement solves that problem by making onboarding into Digs quick, intuitive, and efficient—even for large teams and complex builds.

📦 What Platforms Can I Drag From?

  • Dropbox

  • Google Drive

  • SharePoint

  • Local drives or file systems

Note: Ensure you have proper access permissions before dragging folders in from connected platforms.

📲 Can I use this on mobile?

Currently, drag-and-drop functionality is optimized for desktop environments. We recommend using this feature on a laptop or desktop for best results.

🧠 Pro Tips

  • Organize before importing – Clean up and label your folders before uploading for better structure in Digs.

  • Use the floor plan view – Dragging folders here allows you to visually link documents to specific areas of your build.

  • Combine with Private Folders – Control access by dragging files into shared or private folders as needed.
