    Jay Hi Jay. I've resolved the issue with Dropbox Support - thank you. They tell me I'd been banned for some reason. All sorted now, thanks.

Walter, I'll jump back in. For me it's only the shared link that *should* be generated by the Dropbox app. I can generate and use/share the link from a browser.

Further clarifying: the Dropbox app no longer generates anything to the clipboard. Whatever was on the clipboard before selecting Copy Dropbox Link remains; the menu selection seems to do nothing.

OK.  Until recently the link was always copied to the clipboard in the Finder. It just suddenly stopped working, even though "Copy Dropbox Link" is still an option when control-clicking on a file or folder. I guess you're saying that the only workaround is to copy the link from the browser. If anyone is able to copy and paste the link using the clipboard in the Finder in Mac OS, let me know. It's definitely easier that way.
