How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

Hi
How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
Regards
Paru

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • SharePoint 2013 How to disable Drag and Drop Functionality

    Hi,
    In SharePoint 2013 in document library we have default behavior of drag and drop documents in document library. How to disable drag and drop documents in document library?

    Hi,
         As a work around, you can edit the Drag and Drop js as to remove the drag and drop functionality, edit the document library page (default
    page) place the content editor web part on top of the library include the modified Drag and Drop js file in the content editor web part, Please save the Drag and Drop js file to other location (probably Site Assets library etc).
    Hope it helps!!!

  • ADF Button components: How to disable drag and drop [SOLVED]

    Hi everyone
    I need to develop an application which allows not the user to drag and drop button components. I've converted every single af:commandbutton to h:commandbutton, to prevent this behaviour, but a huge lot of other problems arose from this "solution". I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.4157, and I'm a beginner, so please be patient with me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe I've drifted off-topic with this, but I found the way to achieve this. The only limitation is that the change must be done on the client's computer. The drag and drop feature can be disabled by going to the about:config page in Firefox, and setting nglayout.enable_drag_images to false. It can also be done in a more "portable" way by creating a user.js script in the profile folder and setting it from there. Thank you all for stopping by and reading.

  • How to disable drag-and-drop tabs to search bar?

    I always have a lot of tabs open in Firefox, and oftentimes I move tabs around, whether intentionally or habitually (and accidentally). The problem is that a lot of times the tab is dragged on/near the search bar and this causes Firefox to respond by copying the tab's address to the search and start searching.
    I would like to disable one or both of these. I never use this, especially since whatever address I'm at is already found and if I actually wanted to search for it then I would just copy it and search myself. I want to disable the auto search and if possible, also disable copying the address.

    It is possible for window creation, note this work around: [http://www.ghacks.net/2012/12/04/firefox-disable-tab-drag-and-drop-window-creation/] However I did not find one for general dragging/moving tabs.
    Another add on that provided more customization tricks is known as:
    "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/?src=search]"
    Did this help?
    </blockquote>
    No; as I said, my problem is tabs and the search bar. I drag tabs into new windows practically everyday and the other doesn't seem to have anything related to this either. I only read the description and looked at the pictures and etc, so I did not download it to give it a thorough review prior to declining it as it doesn't seem at all related.
    Curious:
    Does that ghacks thing also disable the tab-search thing in addition to disabling new windows, or did you just post a completely different tab-drag-drop related issue?
    (not rhetorical or sarcastic, I'm actually asking)

  • How do i Drag and Drop print in black and white?

    I really like the drag and drop printing feature where i just drag several files to the printer icon in the doc and they print with out opening the file. My only problem is that i can't get them to print in black and white, or choose any other features for that matter. it is printing in color, which is the printer's default. Does any one know how to print in black and white with the drag and drop feature. i have set the printer to black and white for a single document, then tried to drag and drop, but it still does it in color only. i am using pdf's by the way, but it happens with jpegs as well.

    You should create another printer queue for the printer and choose an appropriate name for the queue. You can then put the printer in the Dock. Now use the web interface to the printing system <http://127.0.0.1:631/printers>. Locate your new printer and click on the "Configure" button. You will need to authenticate yourself using the short user name and password of an administrator's account. You will then be able to set the defaults for that printer. Click "Continue" when you are done.
    You can now drag and drop those files you want printed to the appropriate printer icon in the Dock.
    Note: This does not work for every printer. There are some manufacturer's drivers that do not put these options in the printer's PPD. They generate them on the fly when you call the print window.

  • Drag and Drop feature not working

    I'm using a Mac Book Pro running OS X version 10.7.5 and I find that fairly often, when I click and drag something (anything) that the mouse will not drop or release the item, and the only way I can fix it is to force quit the program.  I have been into the system preferences and tried to adjust those features to no avail.  This has been accuring for almost a year now.  I find that it does this most often after a reboot.  For now, if I reboot, I cannot drag and drop anything for about an hour, then after that, the drag and drop feature seems to work just fine.  Help!
    Side info:  I am also using BootCamp with Windows 7, if that helps
    Thanks, looking forward to some good advise!

    Try disabling and then re-enabling the Helvetica font. Sometimes that's all it takes.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How can I drag and drop an item from one Tree control to another in LabVIEW 7.1?

    You can use the mouse up and down event on the two tree controls but the problem is making the correct selection in the second tree control. I want to be able to switch over to the selection bar of the second tree control so that I can place my item in the correct position. I know all possible workarounds with double-clicks and so on... but I really want a windows drag and drop.
    This is what I have for the moment. Please check the library below. I need to activate the selection bar of the second tree control somehow to get the position in the control. The VI below is written in LV 7.1

    Hi Jones,
    As far as I know this feature is currently not supported by the Tree control. A workaround, would be to use the vertical position of the mouse in the button up event to determine what line you�re dropping the item.
    If you would like the Tree control to include the drag and drop feature, please submit this as a Product Suggestion under the feedback at www.ni.com/contact.
    Good luck!

  • Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

    Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP.  My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves).  The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later.  If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great.  Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

    Not that I know of.

  • No Drag-n-Drop feature for my mounted Adobe Drive in my Adobe Bridge CC

    I've developed a custom Drive Connector for our storage server. In Adobe Bridge CC, after connecting and auto-mounting to our server through Adobe Drive 5, there is no Drag-n-Drop feature for my data inside the mounted drive. But, if I browse other directories of my Mac with Bridge, all files are draggable. What could be the problem?
    It's quite strange! Because, files within my mounted drive are draggable through Adobe Bridge CS6, but not in Adobe Bridge CC !!!
    My configuration:
    Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Adobe Bridge CC 6.0.1.6
    Adobe Drive 5.0.2.16
    Our own custom Drive connector

    I too have discovered the lack of Drag-n-Drop support in Bridge when browsing assets provided by my Adobe Drive connector.  I have tried telling Drive that I support nearly all of the Drive features by adding  "Capability"  objects to the ConnectHandler's response object (including Capability.COPY and Capability.MOVE), but that had no effect; Bridge still refuses to let me drag an asset provided by the connector.
    I would very much like to know what I have to do in order to provided Drag-n-Drop functionality.

  • Drag and Drop Feature is not working

    I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro running 10.8.3 and all of a sudden the drag-and-drop feature isn't working. I was dragging photos from my job's website and adding them to a folder, but after about three photos in, it stopped working and no matter what I do it won't drop into the folder. How can I solve this?
    Thanks

    Can you drag anything into the folder, such as files from another folder?

  • Drag and drop feature is not working in Maverick?

    what can i do when the Drag and Drop feature is not working in my I Mac Using Maverick 10.9.4, it will not do it at all i must do copy and paste.
    reading from earlier forums this has been a problem in earlier versions for the mac.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
