2.3.3 drag and drop into a folder not working

This is still an issue for us, but I realised why others might not be seeing the issue.

If we click on the edit icon on the course page when in editing mode it works fine. File uploads and shows up normally.

However, if you click on the folder link, and view the file list and then click the 'edit' button on the bottom right - we get the bugs described above.

Clicking on the Edit Settings in the Settings block also works normally.

If you try this you should notice that the interface is different - only a save changes button rather than 'save and return to course' or 'save and display'.

Can some other people please test this and verify?

Turns out the issue was a Moodle file permissions issue. It seems a critical bug that Moodle is preventing something from happening, but not providing any error / freedback to the user about why.

The permission:

Use uploading in file pickerrepository/upload:view

was not set - resulting in file uploads being denied. Set for Teacher and everything is back to normal as it should be.
