    Drag and drop large folders and permissions


    Hello,I am writing to report a problem with the windows storage server in my work place. We have a couple of folders that store 5 TB each on this server. However, when a user tries to drag a folder to another location and immediately cancels the request, the action is still completed. This is very inconvenient and risky for our data management.I have tried to remove the write permission for this user and gave him only read permissions. But this did not solve the problem. The user can still move the folders even though he has no permission to do so.Please advise me on how to fix this issue as s

    :)

    Drag and Drop

    Hi Charles,

    the steps you suggested didn't work for me but, when pressing the escape key it somehow expanded the drive and by using drag and drop to the single file in the list worked.

    In the past I could drag and drop multiple folders onto the drive on the network computer(s). Doing it on individual folders will take far too long and time consuming and is not an option.

    Microsoft should be able to identify what is blocking it and issue a fix.

    My machine is multi boot so tomorrow I will try with Windows 7.

    Many thanks for your help,

    Deric

    When using "Drag and Drop":
    • "Alt + left mouse button" to create a Link/Shortcut
    • "Ctrl + left mouse button" to Copy the file
    • "Shift + left mouse button" to Move the file
