Cannot upload folder to Google Drive

Hello, I have a google drive that works with Chrome, but I don't like Chrome. What I would like to do is upload data to my google drive (my work uses google drive). When I drag and drop folders or files to my google drive I get an error message that says 'file upload is not supported by your browser' and gives me a link to download google Chrome.

I've tried the permission (the lock) in the upper-left and set Java (which I downloaded separately) to 'allow' but no success.

Is this a permission thing or can Firefox (v.38.0.1) really not do this properly?

I don't want to switch to Chrome...

Hello,

Thanks for the response. We've found that Firefox can upload a file (xx.jpg) to google drive, but not a folder. So, it is partially possible.

I'm hoping someone knows if this is a setting or something simple...

Hello

You can try with internet explorer or you can upload the files here (mega) : https://mega.co.nz/ or (mediafire) : https://www.mediafire.com/

Have a nice day

cordially
