Hi:

- Drag and drop folders from an external drive is possible when using Alfresco as external drive too, using CIFS, FTP or Webdav endpoints, including the version you mentioned, Alfresco 5.0.2. In that version, you can also drag and drop multiple files from your desktop direclty to the browser (for a modern browser). 

- In the latest 201702GA (Alfresco Community), you can also drag and drop a folder and its content directly to the browser too.

Regards.

Note that the last feature Cesar mentioned was already available since 201612 GA - 201702 GA is just the latest version of that release train and should be used as a starting point for new installations.

Also keep in mind that drag and drop of folders within the browser requires an up-to-date browser version that supports the required, non-standardised API.
