I originally misread your question -- you were talking about downloading, not uploading. I've never seen that failure. However, in dire circumstances you could always use tool/e-mail to email the file to yourself.
As far as upload goes, Files does have a "paste" option -- it's the brown icon in the window header, there's no other way to do it. "Copy" the file(s) in Windows, then paste.
I periodically run into the problem where drag-and-drop uploading of files in Winbox fails (the cursor turns into a ∅ sign). Usually this happens right after I update Winbox to a new version, and corrects itself a few days later for no obvious reason. It's maddening.
