Dropbox macOS 11 Big Sur Problem: Finder Integration and Smart Sync
Dropbox version v110.3425 in macOS 11 is not showing integration in the finder menu. It is also not showing smart sync notifications in finder windows. Anyone else have this problem?
- Thanks for the added info MartinL1!
Could you please try the following steps:
-Click on the Dropbox icon
-Open your Activity Monitor from your Mac Utilities folder
-Search for "Dropbox" in the search bar, and click the "x" on the top left, to force quit everything related to Dropbox
-Re-start Dropbox from the applications folder by double clicking on the Dropbox application
-Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen
-Click on "force quit"
-Relaunch the finder
Thanks!

Tip: When dropbox icon do not appear, relaunch FINDER. (Right Click +Option is one way)
The TIP is not very useful when you have to re-launch the finder several times a day. As a dropbox business user for almost 5 years, I am very disappointed with the current state of the software.
Hello, some minor visualizations problems in desktop app here too.
Integration with finder in big surr shows menu with missing icons.
See image attached (a question dot instead the dropbox icon).
My desktop app is v113.4.507
The dropbox menu in the finder bar has no icon but a "missing signial" question dot. "menu
Situation got worse. Now dropbox menu is no more working.
Neither in the Finder Toolbar or in the Right-click-menu.
So bad :-(
Dropbox menu in Finder ToolbarNo more Dropbox in Richt-click-Menu, nor Dropbox Status Icons in Finder File lists
I wasn't aware dropbox had a toolbar option in the finder in Big Sur 11.1. I am on 11.1 also and there is no Toolbar icon available. This release is a mess.
Issue is in Finder I would say, after Force Quit and relaunch of Finder it works.
This has been a problem with Finder and Dropbox for some time. I suspect this is why Dropbox created there own finder-like app, limited as it is. The solution is for Apple and Dropbox to start playing nice together, or for Apple to improve its own cloud storage capabilities. I suspect the latter is the future. I restart the Finder 5 x a day to get it to recognize Dropbox. Microsoft and Google are also cloud options.
I solved! And I confirm from my side, it's a findeer problem with MacOs update.
This was my way:
1. Go dropbox folder in your finder
2. right click
3. go to "quick actions" (under tags) and click on submenu "customize"
4. a window "extentions" will open.
5. On left index go to "Finder extensions"
6. Deactivate and re-activate "Dropbox Finder Extension"
Now all works just fine!
2. right click4. a window "extentions" will open.6. Deactivate and re-activate "Dropbox Finder Extension"
