Some concern has been raised about the discoverability of drag, this might be crack but what if on hover we did something like what is shown in Joern Konopk's mockup[0], but part of what appears on hover is something that resembles a window border/title bar.

Users already know that they can drag their windows around their desktop by grabbing the title bar, so why not reuse that metaphor? The checkbox would be in the corner of this title bar, and it would be a safe area where misclicking wouldn't accidentally open the file.
