    Win 10 (1903) Can't drag and drop to a shortcut for a network drive.


    The company I work for is running Windows 10 1903 Enterprise. We've been working on upgrading from Windows 7.


    We use a lot of network drives. We discourage mapping and instead have our users create a shortcut for the network drive on their desktop.

    In the past (Win7), the users could drag and drop a file onto the shortcut. When they try this in Win10 they get a red circle indicating they can't. However, if they open the shortcut, they can then drop the file in.


    It's only two extra steps (open, close) but it seems like they are unnecessary steps. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    :)

  2. Drag and Drop


    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

  3. Cannot Drag and Drop into Edge

    • I have been on Win 10 and Edge since June 2016.
    • I was able to drag and drop files in a SP2013 document library until today.
    • I tried it with OneDrive with the same result. I can no longer drag and drop to upload files.

    Repeat: Drag and drop worked in my SharePoint 2013 libraries and OneDrive until today.

    Was there a recent Win 10 or Edge update that may have broken drag and drop?
