Why can't I drag and drop files from EN to Desktop or OneDrive

Ever frustrated that EN is a so hard to use!

I want to be able to drag and drop (mostly pdf and jpg files) from Evernote onto OneDrive when using the desktop app on a windows PC.  Why does this not work??

Hi.  You were posting in the Teams (Business) forums.   I've moved your thread into the Windows forum.  Have you tried dropping the files to your desktop first,  then dragging and dropping from there into OneDrive?

Thanks

Yes, that does not work. Cant drag and drop to desktop.

Even when I export as a pdf it comes out wrong.  What a nightmare EN is.

I have no problem dragging to desktop. That has not always been the case. I'm on what I believe is the latest version.

10.55.2-win-ddl-public (4019)

Hmmn.  Back to first principles I guess - drag-n-drop works fine for me in Win11 and Evernote desktop 10.55.2 on images.  With PDFs you probably need to click the top grey bar and choose "save as".

I can drag and drop pdfs to the desktop.

Show off.  Actually I found that if you're looking at a page inline,  the file won't drag to the desktop.  If you change the view to 'Title' it's then draggable. 

Edit:  -and now I reopened the file to single page view,  it will

I cant even get the pdfs to print and save externally.

My only choice is to email each document to myself and then move it.

I am on the latest version of EN

Please quote the numbers - and just to confirm; what device and version of Windows are you using?

Tried from different views and still the same inability to drag off

THAT's it! It as to be a copy and paste when selected from the top grey viewing bar - what a fiddly mess that is!  But Thank You
