In SharePoint document library there is an option in action menu i.e “open in Windows Explorer”,When we click this one we can see all the documents in a window explorer,where we can drag and drop the documents for the document library.
But in case of a SharePoint generic list we don’t have this option.
To implement this functionality.
For this follow below Steps
1. Add a Content Editor WebPart in your page
2. Add below scripts
<style>
.httpFolder {behavior: url(#default#httpFolder);}
</style>
<script>
function fnOpenFolderView() {
oDAV.navigateFrame(“<update URL for the list see below for Example>“, “_self”);
}
</script>
�
<div id = “oDAV” class = “httpFolder”/>
<input type = “button” value = “Open Folder View” onclick =”fnOpenFolderView()”/>
3. Update the URL
Example URL
http://Domain/Lists/FDPPrescreening/Attachments
http://<Domain Name>/Lists/<List Name>/Attachments
Here we can drag and drop the documents to save as attachment for the list Item.
Sure its Helps
