Is it possible to use selenium / webdriver in C# to test file drag and drop in FireFox

I've got a page on website that is using the awesome drag and drop file script http://aquantum-demo.appspot.com/file-upload to handle FireFox and Chrome drag and drop file uploads. Our team is trying to have integration tests for all the overall functionality of the sight using selenium. I don't see if there is a way in selenium to do this kind of functionality testing, or even fake it. Is there a way to do this in Selenium (or even another web testing automater?), or even a reasonable way to "fake" having the file drop down?

Edit:
For clarification - I'm not trying to drag things inside the browser to drop. I'm dragging files from outside the browser onto a button.

    Selenium can only interact with things rendered inside the browser. It cannot interact with OS level things (e.g. OS pop up dialogue boxes, OS Windows like file explorer, etc)
