I can create folders, and I can upload things to Roll20 but I can't MOVE things into those folders. Am I missing something basic?

It's a little tricky . Make sure you drag by the handle, not the name, drag it to the bottom part of a folder and a little to the right. Here's an animation.

I always wondered, why they designed and implemented it this way.  It's a bit counterintuitive and I don't see any real benefits.

It's tricky to get the hang of, perhaps, but isn't the advantage being able to use folders? I think I'm misunderstanding the comment.

Probably it has more to do with the complexity of simultaneously implementing two different drag and drop subsystems, one for folders and one for tokens.  Separating them in that way lets them work independently, as the cost of a bit fo cognitive dissonance in the use.

Thank you, that was it exactly. I knew I was missing something simple but it was so counter-intuitive I couldn't figure it out.
