Dropbox StaffHey weirdkid47, thanks for posting here!
I just tested this on my end, and it seems to have worked.
However, I didn't use blogger, Tumblr or Wordpress I simply googled for an example image, and dragged it to my Dropbox account.
The file uploaded without an issue. Keep in mind, I'm using Chrome.
Is it possible that you changed something in the process that you follow on your end?
Let me know more!
Thanks for your reply.
I tried again on chrome, and also tried dragging images from some random websites other than blogger or tumblr, but unfortunately it still shows "Create a new shortcut" popup and never uploads the photos.

Hey weirdkid47, would you mind sending me a couple of step-by-step screenshots, in order for me to have a visual too?
Sure, of course.
This is Chrome, but it does the same on Safari, Opera and Brave.1. open dropbox and a webpage with images
2. drag an image
3. drop the image to dropbox
I used to upload photos from my blogs this way and can't think of anything I changed.
