Currently, when users want to add content to a Space's files or links, they need to:
Navigate to the Space interface
Click on the file/link upload button
Save clipboard content to a file (for files)
Browse and select the file/enter the link manually
Wait for the upload to complete
Why not implement a "Direct Space Content Paste" feature that allows users to:
Paste (Ctrl+V and button) images and files directly into the Space's files section
Paste URLs directly into the Space's links section
Have the content automatically organized in the appropriate section
The feature would:
Detect the type of content being pasted (URL vs file content)
Automatically route it to the appropriate Space section
Handle file creation and upload in the background for non-URL content
Integrate with the existing Space UI and permissions system
Use content type detection to determine appropriate section:
URLs -> Links section
Images -> Files section
Text with valid URL -> Links section
Other text -> Files section (as .txt)
Allow user override of automatic sorting
Use Case
Quick File Addition:
User copies an image or document
Opens the Space
Ctrl+V or button click directly in the files section
File appears in the Space's files
Efficient Link Collection:
User copies a URL
Pastes directly in the links section
Link is automatically added to the Space's focused web links
Batch Content Addition:
User copies multiple items (files/URLs)
Pastes them all at once
Content is automatically sorted into appropriate sections
This would significantly streamline the process of building and maintaining Spaces, especially for users who frequently curate collections of resources.
Alternatives Considered
Enhanced File Picker:
Could improve the current file selection dialog
But still requires manual file saving for clipboard content
Doesn't address the direct paste workflow
Separate Import Tool:
Could create a dedicated import tool
But adds complexity to the UI
Less intuitive than direct paste
Current Manual Process:
Requires multiple steps
Time-consuming for frequent updates
Breaks the natural flow of Space curation
