Why can't I drag and drop folders on my Bridge Icon in my Dock on Mac anymore?

My other apps are working just fine. I need this functionality back... I use finder to locate my folders then I just drag and drop onto the icon in the dock to open that folder. Don't make me change my ways!

    Hi,

    The fix for the issue is available in the latest Beta build 16.0.1.15.

    Adobe topped that: You even can't drag and drop single images from Adobe Lightroom (Lightroom, not Lightroom Classic, in Classic it works fine) to somewhere else.

    It has always worked this way. It is frustrating, I try and do it all the time hoping it will work or just forgetting that it doesn't.

        Go to your Creative Cloud app, choose apps on the left side. At the top of apps you will see a Beta tab - click it and you should see Bridge in there to install. The icon will be different - It's white and Blue. But it works in there!!

        You can hold down the Command key while dragging.

         

        It's fixed in the Bridge 16.0.1 Beta, so hopefully the next production release will have the fix.
