Cannot drag from GoogleDrive folder

It's not possible to drag files from Google Drive Folder (google drive -> open Google Drive Folder) directly to desktop or to browser (as file attachment)

  1. Does the same thing work in Explorer?

  2. If you haven't already, please try the latest beta version (10.5.2.5, linked in my signature) as it has some changes which may be relevant. (The beta has proven stable so there shouldn't be any risk in updating to it.)

It works properly in Explorer. Not in Opus.

This in:

Directory Opus Pro 10.5.2.5 (4997) x64
OS 6.1 (B:7601 P:2 T:1) SP 1.0 "Service Pack 1"

It is possible to copy to other locations in Opus. Just not the desktop.

It does work if I don't tell it to google drive -> open Google Drive Folder but instead navigate to the folder locally.

In other words: E:\Data\Storage\Google Drive is fine, but \?\E:\Data\Storage\Google Drive isn't.

Hmm, it's weird that Google Drive is using the \?\ syntax. The two folders are the same, but the syntax disables the Win32 parsing rules (needed sometimes, and Opus uses it itself in places, but it's odd to use all the time; can cause problems, too).

So if we made Opus strip off the \?\ then that should fix the problem?

None of the other clouds I float in use that convention.

So weird indeed.
