Hi @Anonymous ,

There could be several reasons why you are unable to drag and drop files within SharePoint Online. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Check if you have the necessary permissions to drag and drop files in the library.
2. Make sure you are using a supported browser. SharePoint Online works best with Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11, or the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
3. Clear your browser cache and cookies, and then try again.
4. Try using a different device or computer to see if the issue persists.

Hi @MAHIMA KANKRIYA ,

Sorry for my misunderstanding. For SharePoint list, there is currently no OOTB way to implement drag and drop.

From my research, you can achieve this by using Rest API or SPFX.

Here are some articles for your reference:
