Can no longer copy folder link from Mac OS Finder
hello, Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400) - when I right click on a folder and select "Copy Dropbox link" nothing is copied to the clipboard. I have restarted Finder, restarted the machine, reinstalled the app, no dice. thanks.
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.

Hi roxyk, what is the current version of the Dropbox desktop application that you're running on your machine?

Like several others, including myself, have described the Dropbox menu opens and the options appear but when clicking on the Copy Dropbox Link nothing is copied into the Clipboard: it's either empty or whatever was previously copied in any other context remains.
To further clarify, all of the files are properly uploaded to Dropbox and I can create/copy a link from a browser. Like everyone else, I'd grown accustomed to being able to do it from the desktop without the additional steps/hassle of logging in via a browser.
Re the auto-launch option. I've deselected, then restarted, then reselected, then restarted the Start Dropbox on system startup. No joy. And this is after several delete/reinstall cycles for the app itself. Having to manually launch the Dropbox app is less of a hassle, however, than the missing Copy Dropbox Link function.

I'm jumping in here. I'm on Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 and there are no checkmarks next to any of my Dropbox folders, so I can't tell which folders are local and which are offline.
I tried the previous solution, but Dropbox Finder Integration is not an option when I go to Finder Extensions (which is now located in Privacy and Security). In fact, Dropbox is not found in Finder Extensions, though it does show up in Added Extensions. The only options that I can check there are Finder Extensions and Sharing.
Please help. My hard drive is getting full!
Thanks!

Hi rastro2, could you try to do a quick re-install of the app, using this link?
Once you do that, can you also clarify the app's exact syncing status at the moment?
Thanks a bunch!

OK. I had just reinstalled Dropbox because of another issue, "Copy Dropbox Link" not working. This is the version I just installed.

I'm not sure if I should install an earlier version, b/c I'm afraid the previous issue may return.
