Unable to upload via drag & drop

Hi all, 

I'm under SharePoint 2016 On-Premise. On my library, when I try to drag & drop a document to a library, it's not working, I can't see the "Drop here" label : 

 

If I create a page, and add the library component, it's working !

What is the difference ? Thanks for your help, 

Steve

    Do you have any custom branding applied to the site? I've had a similar issue when a theme app was added to the site even though it wasn't active. Also, any difference if you switch between modern or classic (List settings > Advanced).

    Hello SteveRoh 

     

    not sure but i think in the first printscreen you have a grouped view, in the webpart it is a flat view.

     

    Regards, Dave

      Hi DaveMehr365 

      Thanks for your answer !

       

      Unfortunately the grouped view doesn't matter.

       

      I just tried a new test : I created a simple library. When I try to drag an drop a document on the Allitems.aspx standard view, it doesn't work. If I create a webpart component page, I had the web part "test library", and for this page, I'm able to drag & drop document... any idea ?

       

      Thanks

      Steve

        in addition to the view "grouping" settings (which shouldnt matter), check the "style setting" and ensure they are default.... some of the legacy 2010 styles if applied break 2013+ JS based features
