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.

I'd also like to throw in that I'm facing this issue and have been since upgrading. I've had no issues with anything else, only this dropbox issue. It's not the end of the world, just somewhat of an inconvenience as it deviates from my previous workflow. It would be great to know if this was a Dropbox problem or a macOS problem. My permissions using the new system are set to allow Dropbox full access to what it needs.

I am seeing the same inability to drop files on Dropbix folder in the Sidebar on Catalina. It is a new macbook pro with Catalina. My system meets the access requirements identified several posts ago. All other methods to move a file to DropBox folders work fine - seems to be isolated to only DropBox folder in sidebar.
