- 8 years agoThe Home page is just a listing of your most recently used files from your entire account. Files and folders don't actually reside there. It only shows you the activity on your account. The Move and Copy options are only available while on the Files page, which is the actual listing of all your files and folders.

Thanks for the help Rich. I spoke to a customer service rep from drobox who told me essentially he thinks I'm lying and that you could never just drag a file to a folder without going through the "move" tab. I've literally been doing this for the past 2 years almost every day for work. The program is called Dropbox and you can't perform the simplist drag and drop from one file into a folder? That's some irony right there.
All good, I'll just do it through another means.
Appreciate the help again!

Same issue here and have been doing this for years. Very frustrating to have to open every single folder to drag someting into it now instead of hovering over the folder and being able to add the item. This is a total time-kill. Really hating every DB "upgrade" as it just seems to make things more difficult, not less. Ugh.

I just heard back from DB and this appears to be a bug. They're looking into it. If I hear anything new I'll post again.
