Thanks! I made a visual tutorial of these instructions:

Same issue! Thanks a lot!

Wallah...! it works.. Thanks

This smells like a data-driven removal (eventually), perhaps 1% of users turned this on and they're streamlining. Hard cheese for those of us who formed a habit using it and now, on buying an updated product, feel like we've been given an alien device.

Your trackpad, your rules

Hardly.

That said, it never really worked anyway did it?

I always run out of trackpad while dragging something, and get left with it hanging in mid-air, and have to figure out how to cancel the drag to stop it getting dropped into the wrong place or application. With click-drag it's easy, you hold the click and move your other fingers to go further. With 3 you can't do that, and it's awkward and confusing.

Perhaps it's better not to offer that to new users.

I like the 3 finger drag! I was really upset when I found out there wasn't at the default configuration. I think it is really practical and easy to use. I think it works pretty well.

Thanks a lot! can't understand why this hide this gesture....

Awesome, thank you so much. Was driving me nuts with the force touch trackpad, every time i tried to move a bunch of files it just selected the one you hovered over and deselected the whole bunch. Not sure yet what use the force touch is.

Hallelujah! Couldn't be happier to have 3-finger drag back. What a nuisance it was to have to press and drag! Labor intensive! Thank you deeprich!!!

Long time not found until this solution, Thanks!

THANKS FOR YOUR REALLY HELPED!

I created my new apple forum id just to sign in and thank you! 🙂 Thanks to the OP and for your solution, it was driving me crazy!

Thank you so much!! Life saver!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

But… Why Apple did bury the three finger drag setting into the Accessibility preferences??? WHY????

I am happily using a Magic Trackpad with an iMac at work with that setting enabled for years. Today I bought another Magic Trackpad for using it with my own iMac at home (both iMacs are running OS X 10.11), and I got really mad trying to find the three finger drag (which continued working on my iMac at work after upgrading it to 10.11).

Apple: You have violated the POLA (PRINCIPLE OF LEAST ASTONISHMENT). This is a very bad idea.

Thanks for the help locating three finger drag in Accessibility. Why, though, would this be moved to Accessibility when it was a basic function of multitouch trackpads? 3 finger drag makes a lot more sense on a trackpad than simulating a "claw" action to drag a window.
