Hi UncommonChamber, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
In order to understand what you're experiencing, could you attach a video showing the steps you're taking, while hiding any personal information?

Here is a screen recording of the issue.
Steps shown:
-Select "Copy" in dropdown on original file
-Select the folder shown in "Suggested Locations" (note that on hover, the URL text in the bottom left does not show the URL for the Suggested Location, but instead for the folder that contains the original file)
-Select "Copy"
Result: Instead of copying file to the chosen Suggested Location, it simply copies it into the same folder that contains the original file.
