2 years agoHi from me as well, worldmatt!
Would you mind hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar to let us know the exact sync status of the app as well?

I have the same problem and have also reverted to the latest stable version. It used to work fine, but all of my dropbox right click options have been missing for a few days. I have uninstalled dropbox and reinstalled it as well as multiple restarts. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Hey right click, thanks for posting here!
Have you tried relaunching your Finder using the steps found here? If not, can you give it a go?
Let me know!

Thanks for trying out these options, right click! You didn’t mention if this occurred after a specific Dropbox/OS update.
I can also see in our system you’ve been in touch with our support team; please check their email as well, when you get the chance.

I am not really sure.. It was working fine, then 2 or three weeks ago it disappeared. Dropbox updates automatically and I can't say that I pay attention to when it updates.
