Dropbox link cannot appear when right-clicking to share it on Windows

Question

In my Windows File Explorer, when I right-click on a file, the Dropbox link does not appear for sharing. In the past, this laptop could be shared by right-clicking. And currently my other computers can be shared by right-clicking.

Hey there koong - sorry to hear about this.
&nbsp;
Can you please take a look at your computer's system tray and let me know the Dropbox desktop app's exact status and version?
&nbsp;
A screenshot of the options you get when right clicking on your files in Dropbox would also help!

It seems that your context menu options are filled with 3rd party apps&nbsp;@koong&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Could you temporarily quit any 3rd party app that might be running on your computer and let me know if this persists?

I've already closed some apps, but the "Copy Dropbox Link" option still isn't showing up in the context menu. Could you please advise on what else I might try?
