- The 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.
Hey, this sounds a little bit like something has occurre that has somehow made your dropbox folder Read-only on your system? Are you able to achieve the equivelant of the drage and drop by selecting the files or folders you want to copy first, pressing ctrl+c (cmd+c on mac) and then trying to paste them in to the dropbox folders you want by hitting ctrl+v (cmd +v on mac)?
I'm suggesting this only so we can see whether or not any kind of of copying in to the folder will work, not trying to suggest you shouldn't be able to drag and drop if you want to. If the above suggestion doesn't work, that would seem to suggest that there is indeed a permissions issue going on which could help identify a solution.
