Enforce Drag and Drop documents to apply metadata

A useful new feature in SharePoint 2013 is the ability to drag and drop files in to document libraries using browser. This feature is particularly useful for adding multiple documents to the library, to achieve the same functionality in previous versions of SharePoint we need to open the document library in explorer view but explorer view is not a best practice. So drag and drop feature is very useful. Find the below screen shots for the same.





To have the drag and drop feature to SharePoint 2013, here are the scenario or requirements of web browsers.
  • Internet Explorer 10
  • Internet Explorer 9 with Office 2013 Installed
  • Internet Explorer 8 with Office 2013 Installed
  • Firefox latest version
  • Chrome latest version
When we are drag and drop documents in to document library it will not prompt for the metadata which is required. but the document which is uploaded in library will be checked out. In my recent project i have a requirement it should prompt for metadata for single or multiple documents.

I have found a nice article which has full filled my requirement. Please go through the below URL which will give complete idea.
