Drag and drop .psd & .ai files from desktop/finder/explorer
I just need to be able to drag .psd and .ai files from the desktop/finder/explorer and drop them into an open XD project—the same as jpeg/png drag & drop currently works—when a photograph or logo is needed that is saved in one of these other formats.
I appreciate the much more sophisticated methods of importing psd/ai that are already available, but I simply need to drop in a flat image or vector when needed.
This is honestly the primary issue that keeps me from using XD.

Being able to Drag & Drop PSD, AI, EPS, and PDF files into XD and have them function the same as a Smart Object in Photoshop would be an ideal solution. Then users would have the ability to edit those embedded/linked files in the appropriate app.
TLDR; Imported PSD, AI, EPS, and PDF could work just like Photoshop Smart Objects

yes. A linked psd / ai option is needed as well. Right now the PSD import messes up quiet some many styles / color overlays / text placements . this will definitely be a game changer.

I agree 100%!!!!!!
This feature can be a real game changer for me to make my team officially switch to XD!
