Description
### Description
Whenever I need to save a photo from Facebook or any other website, I typically open a folder using the Windows built-in File Explorer. Then, I place that folder window on my second monitor and simply drag the photo from the browser window to the folder. This method has always allowed me to save photos efficiently, which is incredibly useful when I need to collect several images on a specific topic.
However, when using the "Files" explorer, the file isn't saved in the designated folder. Despite the message "Copied 1 item(s) to "XYZ Folder"" appearing in the status center located at the top right corner, the file doesn't actually appear in the folder, nor is it saved. You can confirm this by refreshing the folder.
### Steps To Reproduce
Open a web browser window containing a photo.
Open a folder, preferably by creating an empty folder using the "Files" browser on your local drive.
Position the "Files" browser window next to your web browser window.
Drag and drop the photo from the web browser window into your folder.
### Requirements
Please fix this issue so we can save photos by just dragging from a web-browser window to a folder opened with "Files" browser.
