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? 

 

Thanks very much

This works for me as well but I wonder if you have no use of your other had because you are holding the iPad with it how would this work? The drag way is so much better. Not all users have a stand or keyboard while using the iPad. We could implement using the "..." menus for each file and have a move option listed there. 2 hands is not good user exsperiance. I also am requesting a selection optons to move multiple files at the same time. I am glad that I found this and that there is a solution. Thanks for listening and I am hopefull for a better solution.
