How do you move files in finder using trackpad? With my new Mac I can no longer click and hold to move a file. Thanks.

Never mind - I was pressing too hard. Apparently drag and drop requires a light press.

You can enable three finger drag if you wish.

I disabled System Preferences -> Trackpad -> Point & Click -> "Force Click and haptic feedback" for just this reason. I kept pressing too hard when I was trying to drag something, and shifted into a different mode.
