Microsoft Edge is said to be working on multiple new features, including a ‘Drop’ feature that will allow file sharing across different devices and platforms.

The feature was first spotted by Neowin, which suggests that the Microsoft Edge Drop feature is likely to look like a messaging service. It will allow users to drag and drop any file or create a note by typing it into a message box, ‘Drop’. However, users can only send messages to themselves in this scenario.

Furthermore, the Drop feature can be found on the sidebar of the latest Canary version of the Microsoft Edge browser. The report also states that this feature likely uses OneDrive for storage purposes, which makes it more convenient for users to access these files.

However, the Drop feature is currently under development and only available to the Microsoft Edge Insider participants, who run the latest version of the browser available in the Canary channel. Although, the report suggests that one can try to check the availability of this feature by installing the latest Edge Canary and heading to Settings > Appearance.
