I am unable to copy and paste camera uploads into a picture file on my computer.
I cannot copy and paste camera uploads into a picture file on my computer. I used to take my camera uploads and put them in picture files to save space on my iPhone and organize my photos. Now, I can...
When I use drop box on my desktop. (Windows 10). Up until recently, (before they the changes), I could go into my camera uploads, could copy one or multiple photos and then just paste them into a picture file or any location on my computer. Now there is no option or ability to cut, copy, and paste the photos in the camera uploads and simply cut and paste them. It only allows certain commands when you click the photo, like move, but only to another drop box file location. It makes no sense, it always was able to do this, as drop box will not allow this and is blocking you from doing this. It is a waste since I cannot store and organize my camera uploads in separate picture files as I have always used. Maybe I am missing something, but try to do this with the camera uploads and you can't do this basic command.
same started happening to me this afternoon ... how to solve this issue?

Hey johnyjohnson, sorry to hear about this.
Could you provide some additional information or a screenshot of what's bothering you so that we can assist further?
Since today's afternoon, I am unable to copy/cut and paste files from 'Camera uploads directory' to other locations on my disk.
Actually, I can copy/cut & paste subdirectories in 'Camera uploads directory', but not individual files.
You can see the difference in the attached photos:
Right-clicking on the file produces a drop-down menu, where copy / cut / paste options went missing today - when I right-click on a subdirectory in this very same directory the dropdown menu includes those commands as it always had (also for files) ...
found the 'problem cause & solution' - dropdown menu got too big and copy / cut / paste options were inaccessible on my notebook screen ... using 4K monitor gets me the whole list of menu options ... actually there is a very very small black arrow (hard to see) at the bottom left corner of the dropdown menu, where you can list additional options that are off the screen ...
Can't move pictures to folder on my PC. Is this a Dropbox problem or a Windows 10 problem?

Hey mlayton619, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Instead of doing this via the photos tab, have you tried using the homepage to select the files you'd like and move them or download them from there instead?
