The Direct Save Protocol, abbreviated XDS (for X Window Direct Save Protocol), is a software protocol that supports saving files by dragging them to file manager windows.

XDS is a feature of the X Window System graphical user interface for Unix-like computer operating systems.

XDS is built on top of the XDND protocol.
