Hi everyone.
While dragging files, either to copy or move, hovering over a folder used to expand it.
So one could pick up a file in the root and take it all the way through the directory. However, this isn't happening anymore! Bug or feature removal (which would be quite silly)? If it's a custom setting, how do I get it back?
Frustrating to be only able to drag files only one folder deep!

I have similar issue. When I pick file on desktop, hovering over Finder ico in Dock, Finder doesn't expand. It shows grey desktop instead. But I can open Finder, pick any file on desktop, move it to Finder window and go through the directories.
It appeared right after my OS upgrade.

Do you have "Spring-loaded folders and windows" checked in Finder > Preferences > General?
So I had tried it earlier with AND without this setting, didn't work then (odd!) but it does expand the folders now. Thank you!
Likewise, it was after the upgrade. But the spring-load folder setting suggested by markwmsn helped me. Maybe the upgrade sets it off automatically.
Weird. For me I have ever had "spring loaded folders and windows" ON. It works perfectly when browsing in Finder but it cannot expand Finder when hovering file/folder over Finder icon in Dock :-/
I had the same setting – I usually keep it off to save V memory, but when this issue started, it was on, so I put it off, and issue persisted. Now I put it back on and it works. It's makes no sense but I suppose try putting it on, then restarting?
