Suddenly can't drag and drop anymore
So I updated to the latest Dropbox app version on my Ipad Pro 2021 (which also is updated to the latest iOS version) and now I suddenly can't drag and drop any files anymore from my Dropbox app into ...
I think you should use the upload feature rather than using drag and drop...
As far as I know that the drag and drop feature is new in iOS so it may result in drag and drop error but drag and drop should work in Mac or Windows PC
If an update comes in your iPad than update to the latest version and try it again.
Ok, well, I tried that but then half of the times I get the notification that "file name is not correct" and it shows me file names like titleofpicture.jpg.icloud suddenly! I didn't add the .icloud extension? Might that extension be the problem?
Did you upload it direct from iCloud to Dropbox?
Nope, I don't use iCloud, it just happened to be on my iPad.... I uploaded the folders and files from my Windows desktop computer into my Dropbox account/folder. and then when I got my new ipad I downloaded the dropbox app for it and started using that in the drag and drop fashion and it all worked perfectly like that, until the update of the iOS and the Dropbox app.
I also tried logging out on my icloud account on my ipad, restarted the ipad, reinstalled the dropbox app, and tried again but it didn't work either 😞
So you can rename the file name and just remove the extension of .icloud. Removing the extension should solve your problem.
