IBM Connections - MS desktop plugins do not currently support dragging directly to a folder

  • 06 May, 2014

I opened a PMR last week asking IBM why drag and drop a file to a folder is not working when i use Windows Explorer.

Bellow the answer.

The MS desktop plugins do not currently support dragging directly to a folder.  Files must first be created on the server (by adding to Files) and then they can be added to folders.  Connections folders are not containers - they are collections of files that live elsewhere.

Already logged as a story for future consideration:  MS Desktop: Ability to DND a file directly to a personal/community folder (LC 112847)
