VSCode Drop Bridge

About

Seamlessly drag & drop or copy-paste files directly from VS Code to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.
Long Description:
Fix Drag & Drop from VS Code to the Web
Tired of VS Code file drags being rejected by web browsers? VS Code Drop Bridge connects your local editor to your browser, allowing you to drag files straight from the file explorer into websites like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and more.
🚀 Key Features:
🖱️ Drag & Drop: Drag files directly from VS Code's explorer to any file upload zone.
📋 Copy & Paste: Copy files in VS Code (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C) and paste them directly into web apps (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V).
🌐 Universal Support: Works perfectly with ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini, GitHub, and other modern web apps.
🔒 Secure & Local: Files are transferred locally from your VS Code instance to your browser. No cloud uploads, no external servers.
⚡ Zero Config: Just install and start dragging.
🤔 How it Works:
VS Code normally sends only the file path when dragging, which browsers can't upload. This extension pairs with the VS Code Drop Bridge extension (available in the VS Code Marketplace) to securely fetch the actual file content from your local workspace and drop it into the web page as a real file.
🛠️ Installation:
Install this browser extension.
Install the "VSCode Drop Bridge" extension in VS Code.
Open VS Code and start dragging files!
🔒 Privacy Policy:
Local Only: All data transfer happens locally on your machine (via localhost).
No Tracking: We do not collect, store, or transmit any user data or file contents.
Permissions: We only access the active tab to handle file drops and localhost to communicate with VS Code.
Note: This extension requires the companion VS Code extension to function.
