Is this because XDS is the only way, or just the best way?

"Save" is not exactly the right metaphor in this case, since this is
really a copy operation (save could do that job of course). I guess if
comes down to who does the copying/saving: in XDS it is the source
app, right? In most cases, I'd be just as happy if it was the
destination app (nautilus) handling the copy operation. (OTOH, if the
images in being dragged are located in the cloud, then maybe XDS is
the better choice.)
