Drag attachments from Missive into another program
Denny Cave
Most email apps I've used me to drag and drop files from the app straight into another app or website. So I'd expect a file can be pulled from Missive, for example, and dropped straight into an upload prompt on Dropbox or WordPress website.
In the current version, however, drag and drop only works from Missive to Finder. Drag it anywhere else and the other app doesn't recognize that I'm trying to drop a file on it. So I have to drag from Missive to Finder, then grab and drag from Finder to the app I need the file in, then go back and delete the app out of Finder because I didn't really need it there in the first place.
Would love to eliminate all of those extra steps :D

+1 on this. We are very reliant on being able to drag and drop attachments to another system.

Hi everyone! I wanted to provide a bit of context towards this feature request and why it hasn't been addressed yet.
Unfortunately, resolving this issue is a bit more complex than it appears. The main challenge lies in the fact that Missive stores all conversations and emails on the cloud. This cloud storage enables Missive's collaborative features, such as working together on a draft or sending chat comments within email threads.
Since everything is stored on the cloud, nothing is saved locally on your machine, including attachments. Therefore, attachments need to be downloaded from the cloud before they can be moved out of Missive's interface to Chrome or any other software. Currently, it is true that the only exception that allows attachments to be dragged outside of Missive without first downloading them is MacOS' Finder.
I hope this clarifies why dragging attachments isn't as straightforward as it might seem. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@missiveapp.com. Thanks!

This is a significant blocker for the company-wide adoption of Missive. Is there any eta on this? Is it not possible?

Has this been resolved? I still can't drag and drop to another application. This actually is the main factor why I have not been using Missive as my main email application.
