288 PointsCant drag image files
I unzipped the image files and dropped them into my workspace. As I followed the tutorial and created a folder named img I proceeded to drag the .jpg files into the folder but realized i coudln't. I'm wondering why i cant drag the image files into the img folder or any other folder i create?

288 PointsThanks for the response Megan. I'm at work now and tried the drag and drop here on my work computer with the same issue. Not sure why, but still not able to organize folders. I've just had to use the directories for the files where they originally uploaded to, the root folder. I thought i wouldn't be able to advance in the lesson but this work-around seems to get me by. Just hope i dont have the same issue in the next lesson.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 20,985 PointsI just looked at a similar thread. Try right clicking on the img folder, then uploading straight into there.

288 PointsThanks for all your attention Megan, I'll have to try Atom. For now it looks like i'll have to upload directly into the folder so that i can eliminate the need to drag and drop files into other folders. I had the same issue in Edge and Firefox

288 PointsTurns out I cant upload to a specific folder either. It has to upload to the root folder only. This issue hasn't stopped me from progressing but i would like to get it fixed so that I can experience treehouse to its full effect before i decide to start paying for it.

288 PointsThis seems like a viable solutions, thank you. I thought it was a Chrome issue but i tried to drag and drop using Edge and still a no go.

288 PointsThanks Marta, looks like i'll have to upload directly to the folder.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 20,985 PointsIt should work to just drag and drop. You might want to try rebooting the program and see if that helps.
