How to add image to emulator's gallery in HarmonyOS?

I am testing a HarmonyOS application and want to add an image to the emulator's gallery.

In Android Studio, we can send any file into the android emulator via drag-n-drop action, but drag-n-drop isn't working here.

What is the alternative for this in HarmonyOS?
