Drag and drop not working

What I’m trying to do

Trying to drag and drop images. Every time I try it gives me a black circle line through cancel sign.

Things I have tried

I have tried searching this forum, joining the discord, searching youtube, googling, reddit and asking chat gpt. I found another thread from the past with someone having the same problem.

Seems like the fix was updating, and I am up to date. Any suggestions?

What’s your OS? If you paste the output of the Show debug info command in here, folks will have a better idea of your setup.

Also, does drag and drop work in the Sandbox vault or a new test vault?

Here is the Debug info. I tried in sandbox and the same thing happened. Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Do you think its because I’m running windows 10 instead of 11?

It’s not my main device, but I have a Win11 laptop and drag & drop is working fine with Obsidian. You could try re-installing Obsidian and rebooting if you haven’t yet.

Also, you said it doesn’t work in the Sandbox either, so it may be something about that user account. When you have time, you could try in another / test user account to see what happens there.

Great suggestions. I will try re installing and I will try making another account. Thanks for your help.

I re-installed it and it worked! Thank you for the suggestion.
