Huhu, thanks for reporting this issue. tbh I'm not sure whats the best solution here. Generally I get the need to drop files directly into the hovered folder and not only into the currently opened folder.

Solution approach

Still unsolved / Error-Prone

if there are many folders.

  • Problem: How to indicate the dropzone of the current (!= child folders) folder to the user, if the whole whitespace is consumed by other folders?

This is the reasoning why I thought the current approach is less error-prone as its quite simple (rule is: you always drop into the current folder) - but lets discuss @ChrisEdS @kulmann

Compared to ownCloud 10 I see a gap here - it is possible to drop into the "hovered" folder.

Sorry to say, but the feature set of a decade of oC 10 development can't be the benchmark here :-P

Sure - no worries. Let's threat that issue as a Feature Request and not as a bug. :)
