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.

Yes, using finder I can navigate to the Dropbox Folder, make files and folders and move files out.

All I know is before Catalina it was working fine.  After Catalina it is not.  ...and Dropbox is really freaking expensive now for this.

It wouldn't be permissions for Dropbox as it's not Dropbox moving the files; it's you. If it is a permissions problem, it would be with your own computer user account. Remember, the Dropbox folder is just a folder like any other on your computer. When you move or copy files in and out of the folder, it's your operating system performing that function; not Dropbox.

the same problem i was facing after reading this thread .my all problem has been solved..really love it.
