JB40​ Welcome back to the community

It makes sense this feels frustrating. If you drag a shared folder into a different location, Dropbox may treat that as you leaving the shared folder and keeping a non-shared copy, which is why sharing can appear to “break.” The safest way to undo a finished accidental move is to use Dropbox Rewind (it can undo moves/renames/deletes, including in shared folders where you have edit access)

You should also ask the folder owner to confirm you have Can edit access on the project folders
