Missing context menu item for the "Don't sync to Dropbox" feature

Searched all available help and couldn't find anything related to this.
I'm missing the right-click context menu to "Don't sync to Dropbox"
I'm on a plus paid plan, restarted dropbox, restarted computer.

I used to have it since I have several folders that I had enabled it on.
Those folders are missing the context menu to bring them back.

    In the past there was no such option so I'm not sure what the help article is referring to when it says to right-click the file. Perhaps it's something new that's not fully rolled out yet.

     

    Since you don't have the option on the context menu, you'll need to do it the original way using the PowerShell command mentioned in the same article.

    Thank you for the response.
    The powershell command works.

    I find this very weird because I've been using it for the past month using the right-click and yesterday it went missing.
