You should find that Cream respects drag and drop from a nearby file
browser of your operating system. From a project perspective, this is
the most reliable way to provide the feature.

At one point Cream did provide an in-built browser in the form of the
opsplorer tree file explorer plugin:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=362

IMO, it was the best of all the plugins out there trying to do similar
things. But Vimscript is not a good tool for processing operating
system paths and files. It uses extreme text parsing and has a lot of
opportunities for bugs, especially across platforms and with filenames
that include non-alphanumeric characters. In an effort to keep the
project on track, I eventually removed it.

Vim has this same type of "feature" included in the form of the netrw
plugin. It too has lots of bugs when used outside of a very controlled
environment. I've never been able to use it on Windows or across a
network connection. I became frustrated with its feature creep over
basic stability and gave up trying to climb the mountain to
incorporate it into Cream.
