The attachments control permits users to drag and drop files into it; however,
if an individual intends to drag and drop attachments into a local folder,
what procedures should be followed to achieve this?

    drag and drop files into local folder
    Users desire the ability to view file icons within the application, allowing them to simply select and drag files into a local folder. Similar to the functionality of dragging files into an attachment control, users seek a comparable method to facilitate easier downloads.

    i dont get it what a local desktop folder has to do with power apps? for powerapps you need a datasource where do store and interact with people.
     
    desktop is not one of those.
     
    can you explain why you need a desktop folder for this?and what should it do?

    the only way to put documents into a datasource of powerapps is thru an attachments control inside your app. if you want to mimic a document library from sharepoint for example, you still need an attachments control.
