Advance Drag & Drop Files Module for Odoo
Upload files easily with drag & drop, preview, and optional virus scanning directly within Odoo.
Introduction
File attachments are everywhere — whether it’s invoices, contracts, product documents, or images. But the default file upload in Odoo can feel dated and clunky: you click “Choose File”, browse, upload, repeat.
What if you could just drag & drop files — with previews, batch uploads, and even virus scanning? That’s exactly what the Advance Drag & Drop Files module by Rootlevel brings to Odoo.
Why Drag & Drop Matters in Odoo
Faster workflow — dragging files is faster than navigating file dialogs
Batch uploads — upload multiple files at once instead of one-by-one
Better UX — image preview helps users confirm what they’re uploading
Security — optional virus scanning ensures attachments are safe
Consistency — works inside forms, chatter, attachments, etc.
How It Works
Install the module in your Odoo instance.
Add drag and drop widgets from odoo studio or add the field via frontend or backend
Once fields and widgets are set, Drag one or multiple files; previews show for images. with different widgets
If virus scanning is enabled, the module scans the files before saving.
If scan passes, files are saved as attachments.
If scanning is disabled (or in environments without ClamAV), the module falls back to standard upload.
