Abstract

In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for assisting with cross-platform drag and drop functionality are provided. A mirroring application that mirrors a UI of a second device and partially overlaps a UI of a first device may be surfaced on the UI of the first device. A drag-initiating input of an object of the second device may be received. A drag input dragging the object over a boundary of the mirroring application may be received. A UI element corresponding to the object may be surfaced over the boundary. The object may be sent by the second device to the first device. A drop input may be received over a construct of the first computing device. The object may be translated to a format compatible with the construct, and the object may be saved to a location of the first device corresponding to the construct.
