Hi Aman,

So you are looking to drag and drop from Appian screen to another system right? I don't think we have such feature, you have to download the document from your Appian system using document download feature and upload to another system.

You can't do this  directly(document drag from Appian to external system). I would suggest, You can think of this:
You can show this a!documentAndFolderBrowserFieldColumns() to user to select document and save that selection in variable.
Add one more column UI besides that which will show selected document(from variable). Add button("Send to External System") on UI to call your integration on UI or Process Model based on requirement to send to external system.

Hello [mention:4ce8f37e258e46cbb1fec565cb8dbde1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 

No, you cannot do the drag and drop from Appian to external system. The only way you can do this is using Integrations if the external system that you are planning to use supports it.

This would be something the browser would have to support.
