Do you mean this below? It does not work, or I do not know how to do
it. I am using touchpad and left mouse button.

dired-mouse-drag is an interactive byte-compiled Lisp function in
‘dired.el’.

(dired-mouse-drag EVENT)

Begin a drag-and-drop operation for the file at EVENT.
If there are marked files and that file is marked, drag every
other marked file as well.  Otherwise, unmark all files.
