Drag and drop technique is a user interface interaction method where a user selects a digital item in a graphical user interface, drags it to a different location, and then drops it to perform an action. This action can involve moving a file, copying a file, rearranging items in a list, or linking objects. The core elements of the drag and drop technique involve a "drag" operation and a "drop" operation.

The drag operation typically begins with a user pressing and holding a mouse button or touch input on a selectable item. While holding the input, the user moves the cursor or their finger, visually indicating the item is being transported. During this drag, the interface often provides visual feedback, such as a translucent representation of the dragged item or a change in the cursor's appearance, to show that an item is being moved.

The drop operation occurs when the user releases the mouse button or lifts their finger over a valid target location. The interface then interprets this release as a command to perform a specific action associated with the dragged item and the drop target. If the drop target is not a valid location for the dragged item, the operation may be canceled, and the item returns to its original position.

This technique is widely used across various applications and operating systems for its intuitive nature and efficiency in manipulating digital content. It simplifies complex actions into a single, fluid motion, enhancing user experience and productivity. Examples include moving icons on a desktop, organizing files in a folder, or adding items to a shopping cart.
