While the new image component in Design Studio allows for a simple upload process, there is no corresponding upload feature for any other file type eg PDF. Previously, in the Frontend editor, you could click on the ckeditor link button to add a file to the system. Sadly, this means the DS is less capable than your previous product.

Our users are often adding PDF files to download. Currently, there is no way to do this in Design Studio. Please address this. Perhaps the image uploader could be modified so it can handle both images and files?

Both the file selector and image selector should allow for search (by name or partialurl), or filtering by parent page. It is currently very hard to find the correct file in a site with hundreds of images/files. Please add a search filter to the image / file browser.
