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.

Hey Ted G., that’s interesting, let’s have a closer look!
As a quick-fire answer, I’d suspect that this is permissions-related, however I’m interested in seeing whether this triggers any error/diagnostic messages along the way that would help us paint a clearer picture; please let me know in your next message if possible.
Additionally, does that happen regardless of the original directory? Maybe it’s a specific one that’s causing that?
Please let me know of your findings & we'll take it from there. Thanks!

Hey Jane, Is Dropbox planning to come up with a solution? It's clearly not unique to any one person and Dropbox is going to lose a lot of Mac customers if you don't solve this problem very quickly. It's been two weeks of no constructive response or solution while the file mess on our computers builds up.

Agree we need a real fix to the issue but did you see my post that if you right click the file and do "add to dropbox" that works at least as a temporary solution?
