I can't seem to upload files to my iCloud drive. Never tried to before, and nothing in it, but when I'm logged in to iCloud on my Mac, and I drag various files into the Drive window, nothing happens. "No items." Must be some trick.
iMac, OS X 10.11
What browser are you using on your Mac to access the iCloud website?
The drag and drop work for me on Safari and Firefox.
Also, where on iCloud.com are you trying to drag it to. In iCloud Drive, the Recents and Recently Deleted folders won't allow you to drag and drop anything to them, however Browse and Downloads and any folder with in them should.
You should get a green circle with a white plus sign on your mouse cursor when you drag a file onto a location it can be uploaded to.

Do you have iCloud Drive turned on in Apple menu > System Settings?
Are you opening an iCloud Drive Finder window (via the Finder sidebar or the Finder "Go" menu)?
Are you dragging the files to that Finder window?

OK, I was trying to upload via https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/. But I have no problem uploading via Finder. Why can't I do it the former way? And yes, I have iCloud drive turned on in SysPrefs/AppleID.
Don't know -- it works for me with Ventura 13.2.1 and Safari 16.3 when I drag a file from a Finder folder to the iCloud Drive window at www.icloud.com.
Of course it then syncs that file back to the iCloud Drive folder on my Mac and I then have 2 copies on my Mac.
I'm using Firefox, latest version. You just drop a file there, where it says to drop a file, and nothing happens. I guess I'm trying to drop to Recents. But my only choices seem to be Recents, Browse,and Recently Deleted. Um, looks like that's the answer. Need to upload in Browse. Boy, that sure wasn't obvious. Why don't they make it more self-evident where you can and cannot upload? To me "Browse" means looking at stuff, not uploading stuff.
Well, the theory is that you would upload things to a specific folder or location, and to get to said folder or location you would need to Browse the content of the iCloud Drive.
Recents would simply show any recent files that have been created or uploaded, but would not be a location itself to upload things to.
Anyway, glad you figured it out.
What drive window exactly?
Are you dragging them into the iCloud Drive folder in Finder?

Sorry Phil -- I got interrupted between starting and finishing my reply (providing Windows 11 support to my wife) and ended up posting very late.
No worries. It happens. 😉
