Downloads folder will not allow drag/drop

[Alan Clark]

I mistakenly deleted my downloads folder from dock. I have created a new folder in dock, but it will not permit drag/drop,
delete or move unless I go through finder.

I run macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on my Mac

Can anyone help please ?

Hello,

How did you create the Downloads folder - did you drag and drop it from your Home folder?

Hello C, Thanks for you replying. I have managed to reinstate a workable downloads folder
by dragging new folder to from finder to desktop and thence to dock

cheers .......Alan
