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:

- Aju George K.10 years agoExplorer | Level 3Its basically not a dropbox mistake, I changed my OS from Captain to Sierra today. Its working fine now. Not only that, I lost Airdrop also when I changed to Captain, that have also come back. My mail also crashed in between when i was using captain, that problem is also fixed up. For me it was a problem in the OS, but don't know how its treating Windows !!!!!

yeah and they won't even **bleep**ing respond and you can't get a **bleep**ing human. How is this -- my assistant is somehow administrator even though I am paying -- natch, being double and triple charged by them, and they won't **bleep**ing respond. Assholes. On another note, anyone have recommendations for cloud storage once I suspend my dropbox account and get my duplicate charges back?

I had the same issue within minutes of sharing another link. It seems that dropbox had stalled somehow. I was unable to open any of the options. I opened Task Manager (Windows 10) and clicked End Task for all of the Dropbox extensions listed under Processes. I then restarted Dropbox and everything was right back to normal. I'm sure that a reboot of the machine would have done the same thing but probably would have taken longer...

I had only the drop box showing in my finder so there was nothing to interfere with the problem. I unticked and reticked but no change.
I am on the OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 but have been using it perfectly well since it was installed, so clearly, you solution is not the answer. - Sanchez9 years ago

Hey bobgrif, welcome to our forum!Are you not seeing the sharing options either? If so, would you mind sending me a screenshot so I can have a look too? I’d like to take another look at this and see if we can’t come up with a fix.Thanks! - communitygw9 years agoNew member | Level 2
I tried to do this but it did not work. When will this issue be fixed? I do not like having to share files from the Dropbox website.
