This feature will land in Redactor for MODX 3.0. You’ll be able to use all sorts of different media browsers, including the native one! We’ve gone back and forth on this. Our high quality for user experience lead us in past releases to keep the native browser out of Redactor, but I think one thing we have learned is that MODX is about creative freedom…perhaps more importantly than quality assurance.
While there are many things we don’t like about the native browser, we understand that you may have already trained your clients on how to use it, or maybe they just prefer it, so we should not inhibit access to it.
We’ll probably default the native browser to off, but it will definitely be supported.
