How do I get "send to Dropbox" as an option when I right click a file in File Explorer

On my old Windows 10 computer I had the ability to right click on any file using file explorer and the option "Send to" would appear and I could then select "Dropbox" and the file would go to Dropbox...

    That's not a function of Dropbox. The "Send to" menu is just a collection of shortcuts and is a function of Windows. If you want to have Dropbox listed, just create a shortcut to your Dropbox location and add it to the "Send to" menu.
