The Filerobot Uploader lets you upload assets in the DAM from a variety of sources:
Your device's storage, camera or screen
Web links
Third party sources like Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, and many others.
You can drag & drop, copy & paste or browse to the file's location to select it for upload:
You can transform your assets as part of the upload process.
