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.

Hi dcgc and Rick19744. 

I emailed you both to help the best way possible. 

Please respond there with the name of your device. 

dcgc if you would add screenshots showing the 2 finder windows you are referring to, you would help me a lot. 

Thank you!

Hi Fiona, I'm having the same problem as well after updating to Catalina on my macbook pro. Cannot drag a file into the dropbox folder.
