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.
