Drag & Drop Not Working - in "Bills Attachments" only | MYOB Community
How do I put a vote on this ?
Hi EibachAU,
Yeah, having the drag feature gone definitely adds a few extra steps.
At the moment, there’s no way to vote on the link you were given – the vote button only shows up on posts in the Ideas Exchange, and there isn’t a specific idea logged just for this drag‑and‑drop issue yet.
Right now, the workarounds are:
- Save the attachment to your computer first, then upload or drag it in from there, or
- Drag the whole email across instead.
I know that still means extra clicks compared to how it used to work. From what we’re seeing, it’s likely a recent Outlook update that’s broken how drag‑and‑drop works with AccountRight, rather than anything on the user side.

You won't have to save to computer first
-Click on Attachments
-Click on Add Documents
-Bill Attachments opens (where you would normally find the file)
-Go to your email and drag and drop the file into here, then click "Open" - the file you just dropped will already be highlighted so you don't even need to select it
-The attachment is uploaded without you having to save it first
-Every now and then just delete the files that are saved in the folder you are dropping onto. I just created one called AR Uploads so it is easy to delete all in the folder at once.
