This could be the client side issue rather than server. What happens if you press Esc key (hold the key) and do the drag and drop? usually it will re-enable the drag and drop function.

Trying to figure out why users intermittently cannot drag and drop files/folders from one location to another on the server drives. &nbsp;They get a file or folder in use error message. &nbsp;We know for sure those files/folders are not in use. &nbsp;When I asked them to use the keyboard shortcuts it works fine (Ctrl-x and Ctrl-v). &nbsp;Cannot replicate the problem from the server console. &nbsp;These are just user files (Docs, spreadsheets, etc) and it happens to multiple users.<br />
