New Invoicing | Files - Drag & drop anywhere on the page
In old invoicing, you can just drag and drop the file into the window and it uploads. In new invoicing, you have to drop it in the box at the bottom of the page. Fair to say this is tedious!

I agree that this is critical option to have - I use it all the time in Classic - to send to files and create the invoice from there is time consuming

I Agree this is awful we need just to drag and drop like other areas pleas don't take it away from purchases.

Dragging and dropping on the whole window such a useful feature. Removing it increases my workload in a really minor, but annoying way

Need to mirror the functionality of other areas in Xero where documents are attached - a simple drop and drag into the body of the invoice is needed, not having to open a files option, and then drop and drag. Removing this functionality is retrospective.
While it is easy to say "it is only another click", in high volume environments, this equates to time and friction in the workflow.
The ability to add a file in the most simple way is needed - this was one of the MAJOR selling points of Xero in the beginning - it was innovative, and intuitive to use, and removing it diminishes the experience.

Agree, it's another step backwards!

I found the same, and thought it was a bug (because why would a company remove what is a useful feature)?!
Sent them a message and got this response.

Agree regarding the unnecessary annoyingness of having to scroll to the bottom of the window and open up a small drop area rather than just being able to drop the file straight out of the Chrome downloads and in to the window area. The Chrome downloads recently got moved to the top bar instead of the bottom too.
Making basic tasks take an excessive amount of steps and time is bad business

I've just discovered this today, as I have been preferring the classic invoice style which keeps all the old good features. This is a pain point for me as I would usually drag a file from my chrome downloads into the chrome page with an invoice open. Now I have to scroll down to the bottom of the page, open the 'files' section, in order to drag and drop a file in.
This is adding more time to the job, and makes the process a lot less efficient.
