GregValiant - problem solved! Sort of - it seems that it is a disconnect between my computer/OS and Cura - I still can't drag and drop, but if I click on the file directly and tell my computer to open the file with Cura the image appears in the box and I am able to slice it. Thank you again!

Thank you GregValiant for this thoughtful reply. I read about the shadow in other threads and I'm not seeing anything like that when I try to drag and drop an STL file into the Cura space. I also made sure that "All Supported File Types" was selected and "STL" is even listed there as an example, but none of the STL files show up. In short, I'm still stumped by this problem! But again, thank you so much for taking the time to respond and offer suggestions.

I am brand new to Cura and to 3D printing so please excuse this very basic question, but I am trying to move my downloaded STL files into Cura by either dragging and dropping, or by pulling the file from my download folder, and neither works. When I drag and drop the file over I see a blank square, but no image moves into the Ender box I see in the Cura. When I try to search for a file Cura doesn't seem to see any STL files - only jpegs and pdfs from my download folder appear in the list. Can anyone please advise? I have watched a bunch of Youtube videos and they aren't helping. Thanks! Nico
