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've just discovered this problem on my own system, and just found this thread. I'm astonished this problem was reported so long ago and still hasn't been fixed! Can that be right? Since I pay for Dropbox, it seems to me that either this should be resolved promptly or else I should take my business elsewhere.
Two questions, then:
1) Has Dropbox said when this problem will be fixed?
2) Which competitor of Dropbox is the most intuitive for longtime Dropbox users?

Same problem here and similarly surprised to find out (now i know i'm not the only one) that it's still not been addressed. It's muscle memory to drag files to Dropbox this way, and it's frustrating every time it doesn't work as expected.

I suspect it's actually an Apple issue and not a Dropbox one. Although if you look at my reply above yours, you can see I found a workaround.

Yeah Joe M.6 - i went with that for now. Good suggestion.

I appreciate the workaround but I fear I'll lose track of where I've placed files. If it's "an Apple issue and not a Dropbox one," then Dropbox should say so. Have they offered any official explanation?
