Hi, When I am in my downloads folder and try to use VO+comma to select an item from downloads to drag, it says: "is not draggable, item may be hidden by"
I have pressed the command 3 to show the files in columns, but it still will not let me drag. I am trying to use airdrop to copy items from one Mac to another from the downloads folder on the original Mac.
