Cannot drag and drop files to GMAIL

Leocg, if you "need to" to click the button, then your drag-and-drop isn't working either.

Ok, seems to work if i change the user agent to Chrome's one. So it looks like another browser sniffing issue.

I tried changing the user agent as well, but that didn't work. Can you tell me what the user agent string is that you're using, please?

Sputnikk, I use ltworff's DomainUserAgent:

It doesn't always work -- some sites are too smart for it.

Hi, we deployed browserjs patch for Gmail. It is online. Make sure that after visiting http://www.opera.com/docs/browserjs/ it states the following:

Current browser.js status: enabled.
Target version and time stamp of the active browser.js file is Opera OPRDesktop 28.0 core 1750.0, February 8, 2016. Active patches: 24 .

If not, restart your browser, it should download the patch shortly after restart.
We also are in touch with Gmail team, so they can fix it on their side.

I had the same problem last week. After few days I noticed the issue was only happening to my (gmail) personal account. My work account (also gmail) worked without any issue.

I solved it by accessing gmail with labs deactivated. Simply follow this link: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?labs=0

(You can find it in Gmail > settings > labs).

After that check if drag and drop works. To enable labs again, remove the "labs=0" from the address bar and reload the page again.
