I can't see the option to "Copy link" from my desktop app
I have in the past been able to right click a file or folder and get the option to "Copy Dropbox Link". As of about a week ago, that option stopped showing up. How do I get it back?

Dropbox StaffHey there MarthaBryce, sorry to hear that you're also having trouble with this.
As a first step, could you try quitting the desktop app and refreshing Finder?
Spoiler
More specifically, to do this:
- Click on the Dropbox icon that's next to your computer's clock.
- Quit the desktop app.
- Open your Activity Monitor from your Mac Utilities folder.
- Force quit out of the instances of the Dropbox app that are running by searching for "Dropbox" in the search bar, then clicking on the "x" force quit icon on the top left.
- Re-start Dropbox from the apps folder by double clicking on the Dropbox app.
- Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen.
- Select on "force quit".
- Relaunch Finder.
If that doesn't do the trick, could you please send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of what your Dropbox icon shows when you hover over it?
Thanks in advance!
