Issue Summary

Users are unable to upload files via drag and drop in Confluence Cloud. When attempting to drag and drop a file either into a database cell with a Media and Files field or onto a Confluence page in view mode, the file does not attach as expected. Instead, the browser opens the file in a new tab using its local file path link.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Database in Confluence Cloud.

1. Add a Media and Files field to the database.

1. Click on a cell in that field.

1. Drag and drop a file from your system into the cell.

1. Observed: File opens in a new tab instead of attaching to the cell.

1. Try dragging and dropping a file onto a Confluence page in view mode.

1. Observed: File opens in a new tab, not attached to the page.

Expected Results

The dragged file should attach directly to the selected database cell under Media and Files field.

When dragged to a Confluence page, the file should attach to the page and display inline (if supported).

Actual Results

The file opens in a new browser tab instead of being uploaded or attached.

Workaround

Click on Browse and upload the attachment
