Hi Jacqueline,

The interface has changed - now you need to use both hands. Begin dragging with one finger, then while the thumbnail is "floating," use your other hand to tap the file navigation bar to move up the folder tree.

If you can't figure this out, let me know and I'll make a video of it.

The key thing, as shown in my post that @Anshul_Saini mentions (thanks, Anshul!) is that you cannot move files in the "Home" view, you have to be in the "Your Work" view.

Hi Mike - I am having the same issue on my iPad. I only see the 'Your files' tab on the left navigation, and I am still not able to drag my file into a parent folder as you show in your recording link above. Is this a bug, or is there something else that I am missing?
