Hi Darrius, Do you have the sidebar visible on your workspace? There should be a black sidebar on the left hand side that shows your document tree, which will also allow you to drag and drop images which can then be accessed in your code. However, it is possible that this has been collapsed.

Try hovering your mouse over the left side of your workspace window until you get a two sided arrow, then drag out the left side to reveal the sidebar. Once that is visible, you should be able to add images to your workspace.

Best of luck!

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.
