[Feature] Imageupload via Drag & Drop about stackedit HOT 6 CLOSED

That would be too simple. You need at least to specify the hosting service (StackEdit doesn't provide online storage). What's wrong with the Google+ popup? That's only 3 clicks!

First of all: in my opinion, when it comes to get things done, there is no "too simple" way. Thats what I love about Google Drive. You just drag the image into the editor and there it is.

Concerning the hosting service. There are a lot of free image hosters out there. A user could select which he wants in the preferences. And that doesn't mean the Google+ popup is replaced.

Would it be possible to just save the image in the same local storage location as the MD file itself? Although I suppose that would make the syncing through Google Drive difficult...

Yes, images can be stored on client side and displayed using data URI and even embedded in the Markdown, see this link. The problem: large images take large amount of space in the local storage and the textarea would be unusable if they were embedded in Markdown.

Fixed.

Image hosting is provided by Picasa/Google+. The upload is actually relayed to an heroku web app because google photo API doesn't support CORS. So it can take a while especially if the dyno is sleeping.

Awesome!

I also proposed some hosting specific improvements here #41
