Chrome, Brave, Opera Edge: Drag and Drop Image Issue on Windows 10

In this article, we will discuss an issue related to drag and drop functionality with images in Chrome, Brave, and Opera Edge browsers on Windows 10. This issue occurs when attempting to drag and drop an image from a local folder to a webpage or another application. In this example, we will test this functionality with two images: one that can be dragged and dropped, and the other that cannot.

Prerequisites

To reproduce this issue, you will need the following:

• Two images: one that can be dragged and dropped, and one that cannot.
• Chrome, Brave, and Opera Edge browsers installed on Windows 10.

Test Setup

To test this issue, follow these steps:

1. Open Chrome, Brave, and Opera Edge browsers on your Windows 10 PC.
2. Create a new folder on your desktop and add the two images to it.
3. Open a new tab in each browser and navigate to a blank HTML file or a website that allows drag and drop functionality.

Drag and Drop Functionality: Image that can be dragged and dropped

To test the functionality of dragging and dropping an image that can be dropped, follow these steps:

4. Click and hold the first image in the local folder.
5. Drag the image to the HTML file or webpage tab in the browser.
6. Release the mouse button to drop the image.

If the image is successfully dropped, you should see the image appear on the HTML file or webpage.

Drag and Drop Functionality: Image that cannot be dragged and dropped

To test the functionality of dragging and dropping an image that cannot be dropped, follow these steps:

5. Click and hold the second image in the local folder.
6. Attempt to drag the image to the HTML file or webpage tab in the browser.

If the image cannot be dropped, you should see a message indicating that the drag and drop functionality is not supported.

Troubleshooting

• Update your browser to the latest version.
• Disable any browser extensions that may be interfering with drag and drop functionality.
