I used to be able to drag and drop document into files on my MacBook Pro desktop and after the update it now won't work? I have tried changing the settings and nothing seems to work...
vesque (see above) had the solution that worked for me. In OS Sonoma on my MacBook, a lighter pressure on the trackpad till a subtle click is felt will permit drag and drop. Firm pressure opens a preview of the file. Extremely annoying to those of us who are accustomed to the old click and drag but are uninformed about this feature.
I have the same issue as the OP since upgrading to Sonoma. The spring loading option was already selected when I navigated to that area. Problem unsolved :(
None of these work including the latest idea "sort by none". I think there is something wrong with the operating system
Thank you mate, it worked for me. Best.
Thank-you so much! I've been trying to figure this out for awhile and your solution worked! :)
Check file format, it used to be mps & 4, then they changed it to .wav. Not sure if that is still the case
Sorry mp3
Yes, it is. I was a Strike WSO quite a while ago. Her patches are strange to me, though. Wish her “good hunting” for me.
Pressing option will copy the file when you drag and drop.
This worked for me! Thanks
Life saver! This has just worked for me when everything else i'd read didn't help. THANK YOU.
Thank you. That worked. So easy. Who knew?
This worked for me, Thanks!
@SFDave - you are my hero today. I have been racking my brain, scouring the internet for a solution for MONTHS! I finally saw this today and your solution worked. Thank you!
This is what worked for me! The only thing after hours and days off settings changes and resetting thanks so much!!
HUGE thanks!! I'm cleaning up old files on a new Air and this has saved my hands and my sanity. Thank you x 100!
Why can't I drag and drop documents into folder on desktop post macOS sonoma?
