Dragged files into a project are not linking

Since the 2025 update, when i drag a clip from a folder into onto the timeline (as i did in 2024) it shows as "unavailable" and i have to "link media". anyone else? thanks!

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
