Hi all, Many of our users tend to open an unzipped folder and drag PDF files from there directly to SharePoint Online. Previously, they would receive an errorwarning, but now they don't anymore. ...

It seems Microsoft improved the experience.
Now when you try to drag and drop document from a zip, there's the message below and the file is not uploaded:
Do you confirm you also see that improvement ?
Anyone from Microsoft could confirm a fix was released ?
I did not see anything related on the M365 roadmap, any article from Microsoft describing this release ?
It seems Microsoft did not really communicated around this.
Thanks in advance.

SPNass Yes, I can confirm you now get a warning message. Although this is not ideal it does prevent people dropping files directly from an open ZIP into SharePoint and thinking they've been uploaded.
A small step forward!
