Shortcut to Netsuite File cabinet path

Sometimes users need to insert documents/files to a certain folder in the file cabinet which has to undergo several digging while searching the exact place on uploading. eg: Under Webstore “Associated images” in the Item record are added up from a certain hosting file path in a file cabinet. In this case for a website, it would be easy and quick if they have a shortcut link or something to the lengthy path, to directly upload the images. Usually saved searches don’t work here.

Here comes the SuiteApp called “File Drag and Drop” (Bundle ID: 41309) which has the following features.
