What is the Drag & Drop Enhancement?
The Drag & Drop Enhancement allows you to effortlessly upload entire folders (including parent and sub-folders) into Digs. Simply drag your folder into the Floor Plan View or the file system view, and Digs will automatically import the structureโmaking project setup faster, easier, and more organized.
๐ Why This Matters
Faster Setup โ Skip manual file uploads and import folders directly from Dropbox, SharePoint, or Google Drive.
Better Organization โ Maintain your folder structure to stay consistent and efficient.
Smarter Integration โ Lays the foundation for seamless integrations with cloud storage platforms.
๐ Key Features
โ Drag & Drop a Root Folder
Drag a complete folder from your desktop (e.g., Finder or File Explorer) into the Island/Folder system view in Digs.
โก Digs automatically recreates the folder and sub-folder structure.
โ Automatic Folder Creation
All parent and sub-folders are preserved on importโno need to rebuild structure manually.
โ Flexible Organization Tools
Once imported, use drag-and-drop to move files or folders anywhere within your project for streamlined organization.
๐ก Tips for Maximizing File Uploads
๐๏ธ 1. Prepare Your Folders
Before importing, make sure:
Folder names are clear and logical
Files are organized by purpose (e.g., "Permits", "Design Files", "Invoices")
๐ 2. Use Supported Platforms
Works well with Dropbox, SharePoint, and Google Drive
Make sure you have the right access permissions before dragging in files
If you run into issues, re-authenticate or double-check sharing settings
๐งญ 3. Utilize the Floor Plan View
Dragging directly into the Floor Plan View helps associate files visually with parts of your project
Useful for room-specific documentation or trade-specific folders (e.g., Electrical, Plumbing)
๐งน 4. Organize After Upload
Use drag-and-drop to refine file locations
Group files under relevant folders post-import for quick access
๐ 5. Stay Connected
For the best results, upload with a strong WiFi or LAN connection
5G is good in the field, but LTE and slower connections may cause interruptions
โAvoid closing your browser tab during uploadโthis can disrupt your upload and prevent success/failure feedback
