I want to input multiple file saved in sub-folders. Drag and drop function for inputting file is not working. How can I enable that and what's an alternate

Hi @Shruti_Goenka,

 

if you go to Help>About, is Alteryx running Elevated or Non-Elevated? My understanding is drag and drop only works when running non-elevated. Elevated usually indicates you're running Alteryx as an admin, though I don't know a for sure way to toggle between the two options.

The alternative is to read in the folder and "Include SubDirectories" using a Directory tool and then read in the files using a Dynamic Input!

Sorry! I am not able to apply this solution. Can you please share a workflow for the same. I am not able to connect the Dynamic Input tool to Browse or Output tool

I am not sure why the Dynamic Input would not be able to connect to a Browse or Output as it should be able to connect with no issue. The solution I described is detailed here: The Ultimate Input Data Flowchart - Alteryx Community entrée de données eingabedaten
