Drag & Drop Files
Empower teams to drop multiple documents onto any record with instant validation, rate limiting, and spotless attachment organization.
Enhanced Features in This Version
Professional Capabilities for Your Business
Drag & Drop Uploads with Previews
Drop files onto any form view with inline image previews, per-file status indicators, and a global progress bar with cancel support.
Per-Model Policy Overrides
Configure different size, type, and batch limits per model - restrict sensitive records (CRM, Accounting) while keeping general forms open.
Rate Limiting & Throttling
Per-user, per-record rate throttling prevents abuse while integrations using the standard attachment API operate without interference.
Upload Audit Log
Every upload is logged with who, what, and when for compliance and traceability - ideal for regulated environments.
ClamAV Antivirus Integration
Optional antivirus scan hook validates files before they are accepted, with filename sanitization and hardened server-side validation.
Chatter-Only Dropzone Mode
Restrict the dropzone to the chatter area to prevent accidental attachments on the main form - configurable per company.

- Configure permissions: Navigate to Settings -> Users & Companies -> Ensure document managers have attachment rights
- Initial configuration: Open Settings -> General Settings -> Drag & Drop Uploads to adjust company limits
Basic Usage

Important Notes
Drag & Drop Files respects existing record rules and storage quotas. Users need read access to a record before uploading, and files inherit the record's company for strict multi-company isolation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Odoo versions and modules are required?
A: Drag & Drop Files is built for Odoo 12 Community and Enterprise. It works out of the box with the standard Documents/Attachments framework and does not require Odoo Enterprise Document Management.
Q: Can we customize allowed file types for specific teams?
A: Yes. Administrators can adjust MIME types and extensions per company. Multi-company environments inherit their own configurations to respect regional policies.
Q: How does rate limiting impact integrations?
A: The controller applies limits per user per record within a one-minute window. Integrations or automations using the standard attachment API can continue to operate without interference.
