Odoo Attachment Drag and Drop

Add Multiple Files to Any Record With a Single Drag-and-Drop

Uploading attachments in Odoo normally means clicking a button, navigating a file browser, selecting a file, and repeating the process for every additional document. Odoo Attachment Drag and Drop removes all of that by letting users drag one or more files directly from their computer and drop them onto any form view to attach them instantly.

Why Does Your Team Need Drag-and-Drop Attachments in Odoo?

When staff are adding invoices, contracts, images, or supporting documents to records throughout the day, every extra click in the upload process adds up. The Odoo Attachment Drag and Drop module makes file attachment as fast as it is anywhere else on the web — just drag the file and drop it on the form. The attachment lands in the record's standard Attachments menu immediately, with no detour through a file picker.

Key Features of Odoo Attachment Drag and Drop

Drag-and-Drop File Upload

Files can be dragged from any folder on the user's computer and dropped directly onto a form view to attach them.

Multiple File Upload at Once

More than one file can be dragged and dropped in a single action rather than uploading them one by one.

Works on Any Form View

The drag-and-drop behavior is enabled across form views of any Odoo object, not just specific modules.

Attachments Land in the Standard Menu

Dropped files appear in the existing Attachments dropdown at the top of the form view, keeping records organized as expected.

Benefits of Odoo Attachment Drag and Drop

Faster Document Handling

Dragging a file onto a record is quicker than clicking through a file browser each time.

Fewer Clicks per Attachment

The entire upload process collapses into one gesture, saving repeated interaction for staff who attach files regularly.

Works Across All Modules

Because it applies to any form view, teams across sales, purchasing, HR, inventory, and accounting all benefit from the same improvement.

No Learning Curve

Drag-and-drop is already familiar from everyday computing, so staff start using it immediately without training.

Modules Similar to Odoo Attachment Drag and Drop

Odoo Attachment Drag and Drop pairs naturally with other CodersFort modules built around file handling and document workflows. For reviewing uploaded files without opening each one individually, Attachment Viewer provides a dedicated browser for documents and images. When customers need to upload their own files through the website rather than internal users uploading through forms, Multiple Files Upload Widget handles that front-end use case. For product documentation that customers can download directly from a product page, Odoo Website Attachments covers that direction. And if images being attached need cropping or adjustment before they're saved, Cropper Image handles that step directly inside Odoo. Together, these modules give teams a smoother, more complete file management experience throughout Odoo.
