Drag-and-drop to upload a file worked fine on a couple of websites I tested it on. ๐ค
Try it in a Guest Profile (https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tabs/guest-view/) or a new User Profile (https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/user-profiles/). If it works there, something in the main profile is causing the issue.
Check out this Help page to troubleshoot the issue: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/troubleshoot/troubleshooting-issues/.
If it happens in a clean profile as well, please file a bug with a detailed description of the issue on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/.
@[email protected] Thanks for the troubleshooting instructions! I was able to discover that the problem lies with the Flatpak version. I installed it from the Vivaldi website and drag-and-drop works fine. In the Linux Mint software manager, only the Flatpak is available to install.

One of our devs did a little investigation and found that it's an issue with filesystem access.
We'll try to fix it on our side, but as a quick fix he suggested looking for "All user files" using Flatseal (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) and allowing filesystem=home permission for Vivaldi.
