When I drag a folder from explorer into the Chrome window, Dropbox wants to add it into a sub folder

Why is it that Dropbox is so insistent that when I drag a folder from explorer into the chrome window, it wants to put it into a sub folder and not the folder I'm in?   Unless I drag to the side bar, it always selects a sub folder to upload to.  Even if my cursor never touches a sub-folder.

    Hey erik thymehadder, thanks for letting us know about this.

     

    I just tested this on my end and I'm not seeing this behavior.

     

    Can you try from a different browser or a private browsing window, to see if you get a different behavior too?

     

    Keep me posted.
