MacBook How to Drag and Drop Files!

How to drag, move and drop files or apps on MacBook Pro 16, iMac, and most Mac computers. This is using the trackpad. I also show how to use 3 finger drag.

Its funny how we choose to purchase a device that is not user-friendly at all for first time users, all thanks to brand loyalty. Thank you very much for this video. I have been struggling for days now

[jeffsmith]

Wow, thank you sooo much. I just moved from Windows to MacOS and I was so frustrated trying to organize my files! I appreciate it!

I can't even begin to express how much I thank you and appreciate you for making this video. I was struggling so much lol

[belize]

Thank you!!! This was driving me bonkers after upgrading from a very old software. Really appreciate you sharing

Thank you! This was driving me mad - I had no idea Macbooks came with the drag & drop feature disabled, and this 3 finger drag & drop is great!

[claeioudio]

thank you. I've been struggling for so long!!!

Thank you! I had to use my magic mouse on my macbook pro for about a year or two then when I got a new laptop I couldn't figure out how to enable this drag and drop. You would think it would be under gestures, but no. I was beginning to think I was imagining me dragging and dropping because none of the YouTube videos I was watching showed this ability, except yours. Thank you for making me know I wasn't imagining things.

This was incredibly helpful. It would have taken forever to figure this out. Thanks so much.

Thanks for making this so fast and easy! Watching this over a year later and very psyched to see that it works.

Thanks you!! Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I have struggled with such basic functionality and was ready to go back to a PC. This is just one of the ridiculous (and annoying) things about Apple products.

Thanks a million, while using my new hard disk I was not able to move my windows in my macbookpro, I was always checking the Trackpad in System Preferences, now I learnt what is more important is Accessibility. You saved my life!!

[jasminerosa]

omg this video was a life saver! Thank you for explaining everything step by step. I really appreciate it and found the information very helpful.

[seedlingfilms]

OMG thank you so much!!! I can't believe a 1 trillion dollar company like Apple yet we can't drag a file without visiting Tech Tips!!!!

[ceeeceee]

I was going YEARS dragging each document or video individually until now. Thank you!

[shaylinrose]

I was having so much trouble moving my files, you are a legend, you saved me time and money.

[lisaorr]

So grateful!! It was getting hard to work without dragging and dropping!! Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial!

[atomictunamusic]
