Can you drag and drop folders in Google Drive?
There are two ways to upload files to Google Drive: Drag-and-drop files. If you’re using the latest versions of Chrome or Firefox, you can simply drag-and-drop files directly from your computer into Google Drive. You can even drag-and-drop files directly into folders or sub-folders.
What happens when you move files from one folder to another in Google Drive?
Google Drive uses the folder metaphor, which states that a file exists in one place. So when you drag a file from one folder to another folder, you remove it from one folder and add it to another. All the permissions that the file inherited from the shared folder are lost and all the permissions from the new folder will be inherited.
Moving an item from a shared folder may change who can see it and what permissions apply to the item. Consider using shared drives in your organization instead of simply sharing folders. Note: If you move folders with a lot of files or subfolders, it might take some time to move all the items to the new location.
However, if you click into a folder in Shared with Me and then drag an item from the folder into My Drive, that item is no longer in the folder (for you or anyone else). To prevent users from accidentally moving a shared folder, some companies instruct their users to never drag a file into My Drive.
What’s the difference between shared folders and shared drives?
