2,167 PointsCan't upload img items to workspaces. The highlighted area doesn't even show up to drag/drop the img items to.
in the lesson creating html content, structure the image gallery I have downloaded the provided image file, opened the file and selected the file items but when I drag it over to the workspaces window no spot highlights to drop the selections to and I am unable to get the images for the project into workspaces. How do I fix this?

I found the problem. The workspace is using SSL (https) but when you try to use the workspace to upload files one of the requests it makes is not secure. All modern browsers are designed to prevent this from happening because it is a security issue. I've brought it up with customer service so hopefully they will fix it.
A temporary fix is to look in the url bar of the browser window where your workspace is loaded. There should be some kind of icon that notifies you that the browser is trying to make non-secure requests. To allow your workspace to upload in most browsers you can right click on it and say allow/load non-secure/unsafe content. Often this icon is a shield or something red in the url bar.
Obviously you don't want to do this on sites you don't trust. But it works for me here.

Be sure to extract the files out of the zip first into a normal folder and then all should be well!

Are you working in Internet Explorer? Looks like someone else had the same problem as you who was -

If this is the case, try moving to a different browser. I use Firefox and have never had a problem with the site.
Hope this helps,
