Can't Drag Files to Dropbox Folder in Catalina

Hello, In catalina I am no longer able to drag files in finder into the dropbox folder.  The selected object just sort of springs back into place and will not enter the Dropbox folder.

Same problem on my side - crappy Catalina... 2 workarounds - Command+C followed by Command+V and then deleting files in the original destination or right-click the file and pick "move to Dropbox" - surprisingly this works. There was a pop-up about Dropbox rights right after the first restart of my Mac after Catalina upgrade, but I missed it and cannot find any longer...
