Hmm.. this is a really cool feature, but I think I saw it first on http://minus.com.

Plenty of sites let you drag from your computer into your browser to upload a file, including http://imgur.com (as featured on reddit).

Dropbox is a good case because it works incredibly well and people actually use it.

Minus actually took it from Dropmocks, which was created by a Googler.

It doesn't work on Safari, I guess. This is the message I get when I visit dropmocks.com:

"Sorry, our uploader doesn't yet work on your browser (which doesn't support drag and drop file uploads)"
