Internet explorer 9 drag and drop file upload

Drag and drop is a simple way to allow users to upload their files by dropping them into the container. Nowadays most websites allow uploading using both drag and drop and the file browse e. PushBullet, Facebook, SlideShare, etc. I am using AJAX to save the file to the server which triggers when the file dropped on the target container. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help.

Thanks for your feedback. I have tried to drag and drop through the interface as as windows explorer. It was my understanding that there was no file type restriction and upload must be less than 15GB although i can no longer find this reference anymore. Any help would be much appreciated! On your computer select Start and then type File Explorer. Drag the files to the space in the SharePoint library where it says drag files here.

The library should display "Drop here" when you hover the file over it. In the Add a document dialog box, select Browse to upload an individual file. Depending on the version of OneDrive or SharePoint that you're using, you may also be able to upload multiple files by holding down either the Ctrl or Shift key, and selecting more than one file.

If you are uploading large files, or many files that add up to a large total size to a library, you may get errors due to the file size limit in SharePoint or timeout errors in your version of Internet Explorer.

For information, see Manage large lists and libraries in SharePoint. When uploading files and folders, you need to be aware of path and file name length. SharePoint in Microsoft and OneDrive support up to characters for the total file and path length. SharePoint Server versions support up to characters for the total file and path length. Site owners can set up a library to require you to check out files before you edit them and check them in when you finish.

If your library requires check out, the file is checked out to you when you first upload it. You have to check the file in before other people can edit it. For information, see Check out, check in, or discard changes to files in a library. Site owners can set up a library to require approval of the content before it becomes visible to others who use the library.

As the author, you can see the file listed and work with it, but nobody else can. For example, a legal department might require approval before documents become public. For information, see Require approval of items in a site list or library. You can add a file to replace an existing file with a revised version of a file. If the library is set up to track versions, when you add a file, it becomes the latest version and the older file becomes part of the version history. When uploading a new version of a file, consider typing comments about what changed in this version so that you can more easily track the history of the file.
