Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention enable an interface for sharing resources between applications. An indicator can be used to identify resources that are selectable. Additionally, indicators can identify locations of the page that can accept resources and a function to be performed when a resource is dragged into a section of a page corresponding to a web application. By utilizing, these functions, an interface is created that allows a user to select a graphical representation of a resource in a first application and cause the resource to be associated with a second application by dragging the graphical representation of the resource to the second application or otherwise selecting the second application.
