Documents are all the files posted by the user. They can be text files, images, spreadsheets, videos, etc.
To create documents, the user must have write permission in the location selected. The administrator can create documents regardless of the security defined.

The option of creating drag and drop documents can be limited by the browser being used. You can find information on the features supported by each browser under Browser Compatibility for Drag and Drop of files.
