How do I drag and drop files into Pandafile?

2 min read · Updated 2026-11-13

Short answer

Open pandafile.co, drag your files from your desktop or a folder window and let go anywhere inside the box that says "Drop your files here". They are added straight away and you can then get a link or send them by email.

Dragging and dropping is the quickest way to add files to a transfer. It works in every modern browser on a computer, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, and there is nothing to install.

Drag your files in

  1. Open pandafile.co in your browser. You will see a box that says "Drop your files here".
  2. Open the folder on your computer that holds the files, or find them on your desktop.
  3. Click and hold on a file (or a selection of files), drag it over the Pandafile window and let go anywhere inside the box. The box turns green when it is ready to catch them.
  4. Your files appear in a list with their names and sizes. Drag in more at any time, or use "Add more".
  5. Choose "Get a link" or "Send by email" and press Send.

Selecting several files at once

You can drag lots of files in one go. In the folder window, hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) and click each file you want, or click the first file, hold Shift and click the last to select everything in between. Then drag any one of the selected files and the rest come along with it.

Check the list before you send

After you drop your files, Pandafile shows the number of files and their total size. If you picked something by mistake, click "Remove" next to it, or "Remove all" to start again. Nothing is uploaded until you press Send.

If dragging doesn't work

  • Make sure you let go inside the dashed box, not on the browser's address bar or another tab.
  • Some apps, such as email programs, can't drag attachments straight into a browser. Save the files to your computer first, then drag them in.
  • On phones and tablets dragging between apps is limited, so tap "Choose files" instead.
  • If nothing happens at all, refresh the page and try again, or use the "Choose files" button.
