We are adapting our product to Microsoft Edge. We have an HTML drag-and-drop feature that works correctly in IE, Chrome, etc.
Using Microsoft Edge from Win10 Insider Preview Build 10162, the drop is forbidden. We also checked http://html5demos.com/dnd-upload doesn't work neither.
Has anyone solved this problem?
Microsoft implemented this feature in EdgeHTML 13, included in Windows 10 Build 10586 (November 2015).
Original answer:
The DragAndDropEntries
is not supported in Microsoft Edge yet. See this link for more detail
It says:
Allows dragging and dropping entire folders using HTML5 Drag and Drop. Extends the DataTransferItem with a method to get a FileEntry/DirectoryEntry.
Roadmap Priority: Low — We are still evaluating this technology. There may be significant spec stabilization, foundational work, or additional community input required before we can begin development."

I just tried it the demo on Microsoft Edge and it worked fine for me.
Worked for me:
html:
<input
id = "dropzone"
accept = "image/*"
multiple = "false"
type = "file"
/>
used javaScript 'drop' event :
const dropzone = document.getElementById('dropzone');
dropzone.addEventListener('drop', (event) => { /* your callback */ })
to get file used:
event.dataTransfer.files[0]
