Bring back File Request option in File Explorer.

I used to be able to initiate a "Request Files" by right clicking on the file I wanted the documents to go into.  This is more efficient that having to go to the web version, as I 99.9% work out of the File Explorer on my PC.   Please bring back the option to "Request Files" in the right click menu.

    Windows 10 Pro. 

     

    Dropbox v206.4.6506

     

     I discussed this with Dropbox chat earlier today,  They said this feature is no longer available in the right click menu and I have to use the web version to request files.

    Hey jg2599, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Would you be able to confirm the OS you're using along with the version of the app you're using on your end? 

     

    I'd also love a screenshot of the content menu that you see when you right click on a file inside your Dropbox folder, in order for me to have a visual too. 

     

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
