Symptom

• The Limited-access user permission lockdown mode site collection feature is enabled for the parent site collection where the subsite exists.

• You share a list on the subsite with a user, and you provide at least edit permissions.

• When the user tries to add a file to the list by using the drag files here functionality, he or she receives the following error message:
  
  Error with request to the server: Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource.
