    It seems that this is not the fault of Dropbox.  The fault seems to be with Firefox and other browsers (with the exception of Chrome).  Also, same thing happens in Google Drive, can only drag and drop / upload folders there successfully with Chrome.  According to the following website, http://superuser.com/questions/909112/does-firefox-support-folder-upload , Firefox is aware of this bug, and has been testing fixes with nightly beta trials.  Hope this helps...

Anybody try this with Safari? I don't have a Mac / iPhone to try it myself.
