Alfresco doc type with drag and drop.

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I want my users to be able to map alfresco as a network drive so that
they can drag and drop files. I know that Alfresco supports that "out-of-the-box".
What "type" is a file when a user drops it into alfresco that way? Is it possible
to make it a custom type?

Thanks

Yes you could do that by creating rule of folder that when new item arrive change it to custom type.
Only few limitations are you can set only one custom type in rule.
condition: All Items
action : Specialise the type of an item (select your type in next window)
details: type = inbound

You need to do customization in share-config-custom.xml to add your custom type in rule wizard.
