Abstract
Some websites accessed via browser allow for file uploading via drag and drop functionality. In a drag and drop operation, a user selects a file on the information handling system and drags the file to a browser window for uploading via the browser. File encryption systems, such as virtual file systems, may implement an encryption algorithm and enforce encryption standards, set by a user or organization, when uploading files via a browser, including uploading of files performed via file drag and drop functionality.
