Mark Mc, what web browser are you using? I can only get Chrome to drag and drop / upload folders successfully to Dropbox. I even tried one folder including just one file with Firefox and Internet Explorer, didn't work. Firefox and Internet Explorer kind of fake you out, the "green border" to drag and drop / upload shows up, but then the upload stalls without an error message. Perhaps a configuration setting with Firefox and Internet Explorer? This all goes away if you install Dropbox software and sync your PC, but I cannot install Dropbox on my work computer. Frustrating... I have hundreds of folders which I backup... if it wasn't for the Chrome fallback, I would have dumped my Dropbox.
