Description

It would be very helpfull to have different options on the drag and drop feature of files/folders.

  • eighter to completely deactivate this function,
  • to restrict it or
  • to implement a warning message when using drag&drop (e.g. Do you really want to move this file/folder?)
    Such an option would really help to provide more security in terms of data privacy (if users drag and drop accidentally)
    = Privacy by Design!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the drag-and-drop implementation and determine how deactivation, restriction, or a confirmation warning should be exposed; done would mean implementing a defined option and verifying that accidental file or folder moves are prevented or confirmed.
