Can't drag and drop files from the image folder into the workspace screen

This is for the "Front End Development" track and I'm on the "How To Make a Website" video. I've downloaded the img.zip file and I've selected all the files and tried to drag/drop into the lower darkened right hand corner of the screen as the video instructs. But no box appears.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">

Hey Dylan, after you unzip the files, copy them into a new folder and drag and drop them into the workspace. That seems to work for me.

Hi, try downloading the files one by one with the upload option in the file menu on top of the workspace page.

I feel your frustration Dylan, I seem to be experiencing the same issue on my end. I thought I try the workspace out, but may end up using VS to follow along if I don't figure it out soon.

Hey Dylan, here is what I did..

  1. Download files to local computer
  2. Double click the zip folder and open
  3. Copy the unzip files into another folder locally on your computer
  4. Open the new folder and drag them into the workspace area to upload

If that doesn't work, then I'd send an email to the Treehouse team. Good luck Dylan and let me know how it works out.
