My "share dropbox link" option in the drop down box is gone, how do I get it back?

I'm trying to send a link to someone and I have the file saved to my dropbox but I don't have the option to share the dropbox link. This just started as I shared a link a few weeks ago.

    Hey folks,

    This might be because we're interfering with other Finder extensions (Creative cloud etc) you may have running on your computer.

    While we're working on fixing the bug with Apple, you *could* disable the other Finder extensions in System Preferences > Extensions > Finder:

    ></p> <p> </p> <p>Try it, and let me know if that works.</p>

    Are you’re running our latest stable app, currently 38.4.27? Also, what version of MacOS are you on? 

    Can you send me a screenshot of your entire window so I can see what you’re seeing? Please omit any personal/private information from that :wink:
     
    Thanks

      Two-finger tap on the track pad worked for me too. It shared the dropbox link. Control-click still does not work. This is a very recent development. Neither log-out and back in nor restart had any effect.

       

      I am running the latest version of Dropbox (39.4.49) and Mac OS 10.13.1.
