Hi ccarruth- in addition to Krishana's response, make sure to only use the 32-bit version of IE.

Answer 3

Drag and drop works fine with 64-bit IE. Compatibility View is required with SharePoint 2013.

Hi,

In addition to other ways, make sure the protected mode is turned off.

Hi ccarruth,

For troubleshooting the issue, you could check things below:

1. Add the site into the trust site in IE to check if it can work.

2. Check if the user has the permission to drag and drop documents.

3. Switch to other browsers to check if it can work.

To drag and drop content, you should drag the document icon, and not the document itself.
