Drag & Drop into Vivaldi-Browser does not work

Hi Community,

just switched from Safari to Vivaldi Browser. Drag & Drop of a PDF-Attachment into Vivaldi does not work. Drag & Drop of a PDF-Attachment into Finder works as expected. Does anybody can reproduce this?

Regards,
Thomas

Using any Chromium browser such as Safari, Chrome, Vivaldi , Opera etc on Mac, dragging a .pdf file onto one of those browsers won’t normally do anything.

If you however drag the .pdf “onto the Mac Desktop” and “then back to the Browser”, that will accept the file, but it won’t open it (if thats what your trying to do). The browser will then only just download the .pdf to your Mac downloads folder".

What were you wanting the browser to do with the file ?

Thank you for your answer. Safari isn’t Chromium-based - but anyway: on webpage there is a uploadform to receive files for attaching on mails for example. Safari is working as expected.

Yes you are correct sorry I accidentally put that in there

but anyway: on webpage there is a uploadform to receive files for attaching on mails for example. Safari is working as expected

So if you drag the pdf to the desktop and then drag it to your website upload form does that work for what you do on eg: Chrome, Edge, or Opera ?

If it doesn’t, could be the website is then specially eg: “only written for Safari and not Chromium browsers”. Whats the website address if public.

Just got an answer of Support. It’s a known behaviour because of missing support of file promises within Vivaldi. More details: Drag-and-Drop Functionality for Attachments on macOS for apps that do not support file promises | Mail | eM Client
