Hello, I have the same issue, with the website interface, Firefox and Chrome on Windows

When I try to drag some files into an open folder, no matter where inside the dropppable zone i place my cursor, it wants to select a subfolder to upload to.

It also wants to keep the subfolder selected even if I hover off the subfolder.

In the video, you can see how even if I hover off the subfolders, it still says it will upload to a subfolder and not into the "2024" main folder

Im getting annoyed always having to check whether it uploaded to the correct folder.
