Drag and drop images into org files.

I tried [org-download](https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download)
package and while it works with normal org files it doesn't work for
org roam files (don't know how since both are just org files), is
there a reason for such behavior.

Works fine for me.

Could you please share you configurations.

This is my config:

I added the org-download config separately (I don't use it in my
workflow because I like more control over images).

It works fine for me, but I used to be puzzled when it didn't before I
realized what the issue was:

You need to have a top-level headline in your `.org` file for it to
work, i.e. a heading beginning with `*`, like `* My title` -- `org-
download` stores the image in a directory with the name of this
heading.  Lower level headlines like  `** My title`, won't work. My
`org-roam` capture template doesn't include headlines, since I vary
the structure of my notes depending on the subject. To use `org-
download`, I usually just make a temporary headline with the name of
the `org-roam` file, drag the image over, and delete the headline.

Sounds like nonreligious has your answer, but I hadn't heard of org-
download, just tried it and works a treat for me!
