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.

Please do this for me too. It is a total buzz kill that this feature has stopped working for me. I use this feature constantly and it is definitely causing me a problem and creating a lot of extra work. This feature must be fixed ASAP!!!!!!

This has been a frustrating issue for me as well. Apple was not able to provide any assistance; and I do realize this is a 3rd party app.
However, after searching for this issue and coming across this string, the solution provided by John48 works for me as well. Thank goodness.
And for those that may not have read through the entire string, what works for me is to click and drag the document and HOLD it over the dropbox icon for a second or so. The dropbox folders will appear and you can drag it to where you want.
