What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

This is the function that default File Explorer supports. For the files that have been already selected, you can drag it to an upper window.

Thanks for the feedback, you will need to clarify what you mean and what you expect to happen.

As the video shows, after I select the txt file, I can drag it into an upper window Files.

For Files, if you do the same thing, Files will be the topmost window which can cover the upper window, and thus you cannot drag this txt file to an upper window.

This function can help you easily drag a file to an input control in the another window. For instance, I need to drag a video to Github for uploading like this:
