I have set the allowed extension types setting to * to allow any file. When I try to upload a file with .smi using basic document upload in document and media library, it works as expected and uploads the file. However, when I try to upload the same .smi file using drag and drop, it doesn't work. I get an error saying (see attached image too):

"Please enter a file with a valid file type."

Drag and drop work just fine for well known file types such as .docx.

Is this a bug or is there some other setting to allow drag and drop upload of all file types?

Is this on windows? It kinda sounds like this bug but not quite.
