When I drag an image in react that has draggable
set to true, I get not-allowed
/ no-drop
cursor. I can't figure out how to target it with CSS to overwrite. The way I handle the drag is onDragStart
then onDragEnd
.
I faced the same issue back when I was working on one of my React projects, so I did some research and tested several methods that I found, but nothing worked for me. You see there is a property named DataTransfer.effectAllowed
that specifies the effect that is allowed for drag operation, and there is a limitation to this API as you can read here -

Changing the styles or attaching an eventListener won't work, you have to use a different backend for this. Use react-dnd
and react-dnd-touch-backend
or react-dnd-html5-backend
npm packages as a custom backend.
