Cannot Drag and drop files into folders
Hello, until today, I could easily select 1 or more files (in this case jpeg) and drag them into a sub forlder. Now I when I try to drag the files into the folder it won't let me drop them there, ju...
- 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.
I am using my computer. I am uing the dropbox website. I have tried on 3 different browers to no avail.
Scenario: I have folder JOBS. Inside Jobs folder is another folder A and 10 JPEG pictures. Until today I could select any number of the jpeg's and drag them into folder A without having to use the "move files" tab and scrolling through several dropdowns. I could just drag and drop those pictures into the folder. As of today I cannot do that. When I select the files and drag them to the folder, they cannot be dropped into a folder anymore. Literally I have done nothing different, not installed, deleted, updated or chnaged anything on my end. There is no error message. When I drag the file, the file name moves with the curser, but cannot be dropped into the file.

Super User IIIt's probably just another change to the website. I'm not able to drag files into folders either. I either have to open the folder and drag files into it from the computer, or use the Move function on the website if I'm dealing with a file that's already in Dropbox.
Dropbox continues to update the site in the name of improvements, but things just keep getting worse.

Thanks for the help Rich. I spoke to a customer service rep from drobox who told me essentially he thinks I'm lying and that you could never just drag a file to a folder without going through the "move" tab. I've literally been doing this for the past 2 years almost every day for work. The program is called Dropbox and you can't perform the simplist drag and drop from one file into a folder? That's some irony right there.
All good, I'll just do it through another means.
Appreciate the help again!
Same issue here and have been doing this for years. Very frustrating to have to open every single folder to drag someting into it now instead of hovering over the folder and being able to add the item. This is a total time-kill. Really hating every DB "upgrade" as it just seems to make things more difficult, not less. Ugh.
Same issue here Very frustrating
I'm experiencing the same thing! After years of easy drag and drops.
