Furthermore, enable the Multiple checkbox to drag and drop more than one file/folder at a time.

You could certainly drag and drop a destination folder onto the sidebar of any folder window. But if it belongs to a removable drive, this favorite folder will disappear when you unmount the drive. In contrast, d-d ZoneX will never lose your destination folders. If a destination folder belongs to a removable drive, which is not currently mounted, then the main window of d-d ZoneX will turn red, telling you that the selected destination folder cannot be currently found.
