The Drag and Drop Tray is a user interface control and an interaction technique supporting mass copying, cutting and pasting of dispersed files into one or more folders. Just like a physical tray, the Drag and Drop Tray works in two modes, collect and distribute. Dragging a file for a short distance activates the tray in the collect mode. The tray is rendered with a divider splitting it into two sections; cut and copy. Dragging a file to a section invokes the desired functionality. In the distribute mode, the user drops items from the tray onto the underlying folder.
