Can't Drag and Drop into Dropbox from Finder Sidebar
I hope this is the correct place to post this. I commonly drag things from a local drive into Dropbox in Finder, using the sidebar, usually to upload for client access. It is a common enough action t...

hughH thanks for the screenshot, this actually moved me along. There's definitely an issue with dragging and dropping to "Dropbox" in Favorites in the Sidebar. There is also a Locations section below Favorites in the Sidebar, which contains the same Dropbox folder (but with the Dropbox logo). I confirmed that dragging to Favorites in fact doesn't work, but dragging/dropping to the folder in Locations does work. I also confirmed that, while dragging/dropping to the toplevel Dropbox folder in Favorites does not work, if you have a sub-folder of Dropbox in Favorites, you can drag/drop to that.
The attached photo shows the Dropbox folder in Locations, and the move working. You can also see Dropbox in Favorites above--moving to that spot does not work. We'll look into that. Meanwhile, I hope that you can work around this issue by dragging/dropping to Locations rather than Favorites on the Sidebar.

Hi Hannah, thanks for the reply. To answer your questions:
1) Yes, this behavior continues even if I quit the Dropbox app
2) This is the only folder that has this issue. It only started when I updated to the new version of the Dropbox app for macOS. Even other cloud service folders work fine in the sidebar. It is only Dropbox that has this issue. I am using v171.4.6182

I tried this and I found that it works for my personal Dropbox, but not my Team account. Is this possibly a team or enterprise Dropbox you're having the issue with?
Also, I hear your rant and I identify with it. These changes are largely mandated by new OS interfaces that we need to conform to.

Thank you for your reply (and your sympathy). I don't have a team account. Just the one dropbox account.
