FME Desktop 2022.1 Build 22618: How to connect C or D drive to FME to be able to drag and drop data decently?

 

For example, in ArcGIS Pro, there is a catalog pane from which C or D drive can be connected to be able to drag\\drop data decently.

 

Do we have such facility in FME?

You can just drag files/folders directly from windows explorer onto the Workbench Canvas. It will then open up the Add Writer interface and auto populate some of the details

Sure I’m a ware that we can drag\\drop file from Windows file explorer to FME but wanted to find out if FME has a facility like “catalog” though which C or D can be connected to FME and thus the drag\\drop gets really easier as in ArcGIS Pro

No it doesn't but raising something like this on the Ideas page would be a good idea
