What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Dragging files to an operating system folder

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

I was hoping to find a complete list of possible drag types. I don't know where to find the full list, but I know of at least one type that is missing from this page.

What did you expect to see?

All known drag and drop types across known browser should be at least listed, even if not fully explained. A feature matrix across browser would be useful here.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

The DownloadURL type is available on Chrome and should be mentioned on this page. It has been implemented on Chrome since 2010.

• WHATWG proposal
• Chromium tracking issue
• FireFox tracking issue.

The DownloadURL drag type was mentioned in #21619, but in terms of using it for a documentation feature, not documenting it.

It is not feasible to know every supported type because browsers have so many non-standard ones, but I will get DownloadURL documented in #40943.
