Hi Martin-Coupal ,

I can confirm this is the behaviour that I am seeing too. Although the icon sticks to the mouse click and says move file it will not move.

I have had users periodically reporting drag and drop issues recently. These have been due to bugs that Microsoft have fixed once reported. I would say if its still not working after 24hrs then raise a ticket and get them to sort it. Check whether drag and drop is working elsewhere in your tenant as it may be a wider issue than just site pages. Our issues were tenant wide.

Ok, thanks. The problem is only with "Site Pages" librairies.
I've reported the issue in the Service Health page. Will wait and create a support ticket if not fixed on Monday.

    Gietye Martin-Coupal , did you get any return on this? I too experience this: we can't create folders anymore (unless reactive it from Advanced settings) and can't create page from the new button in the library, therefore not within a folder, only through the homepage's new menu.
    Could it be that this is all disabled to allow for the new multilingual solution which creates language folders and synchronizes pages?
