Inserting images is time consuming

Am I the only one who finds inserting/replacing images in an email very time-consuming? Ideally, it would be great if we could drag and drop an image directly into the email builder.

The process I follow is:
First, you click replace image. Then, in the pop-up dialogue, you need to click upload, which opens a new dialogue. From there, you can drag and drop. Which then queues up the upload. Then, click upload. Then click Done, which brings you back to the original dialogue. Then click insert. Each dialogue/screen change takes time to load (some more than others). All said and done, it took me 42 seconds to upload a small 100k image. 

 

I suppose you can argue that 42 seconds is amazing, and I'm expecting too much. I also might be doing something wrong, but this process doesn't seem efficient to me. Is there a better way that I am unaware of?

Hello @user1008176 ,

 

Drag-and-drop is already available in campaign editors, via the Images tab in the lefthand menu. If you have a massive number of images uploaded in your account, you can aso search and utilize folders for better navigation, organization, and finding of the uploaded images you want.

Thank you, as that does help a little. However, I don't see a search function in that left-hand menu. Depending on what needs to be achieved, it can potentially speed up the process a little. Thank you.
