Cannot drag and drop files to default Music folder

When I drag and drop folders containing music to the data/Music folder, nothing happens. Do I need to change a setting on the folder in order for drag and drop to work?

-Thanks

I can drag and drop .mp3 files, but not a folder containing .mp3 files. Is it possible to drag and drop folder containing music files?

It should be.
Where are you dragging them from?
How are you viewing the share contents?
If it's a PC, does the PC user who is logged in match a user/password on the nas who has permissions to write to that share?
Are the nas and PC in the same work group?

I'm dragging them from Finder on a Mac. There is no workgroup involed here. I tried changing the folder settings to allow "All" types of files, and still cannot drag and drop Folders from Finder.

I don't have mac so not sure.
Check the permissions of the mac folders as well as the nas shares.
AFP is on?
What about the users/ passwords?
Dose the problem happen with all folders or just the ones with mp3 files in them?
Try creating a new folder and dragging it across, what happens?
