Can't drag and drop files from the image folder into the workspace screen

This is for the "Front End Development" track and I'm on the "How To Make a Website" video. I've downloaded the img.zip file and I've selected all the files and tried to drag/drop into the lower darkened right hand corner of the screen as the video instructs.

The darkened square/corner reads "Drop files to upload" and that's it, the files do not upload and nothing happens. I've tried closing the workspace window, reopened it, tried dropping the files back in and same result, the files do not upload. Please help.

I ran into the same issue when I was trying to drag directly from the downloads folder into the workspace. However, if I saved the files from downloads into MyDocments (or wherever you choose), I could drag the files to the workspace without issue. Hopefully, that works for you as well.
