Comment (by azaozz):

 19845.diff looks good. Will need to expose `containerDragover()` so it can
 be called from TinyMCE when the file(s) are dragged directly over the
 editor.

 Was also thinking about a different workflow:
 - User drops file(s) on the editor (Visual or Text).
 - Instead of opening the media modal and forcing the user to wait for the
 file(s) to be uploaded, we show a small bar in the right or left bottom
 corner that shows the total progress.
 - After the uploading is done, we could notify the user, perhaps by
 changing the color of the progress bar, etc.

 This way we won't interrupt the user while the files are being uploaded,
 i.e. asynchronous uploading.
