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:

same problem as Steven A. is happening to me the past few months. No share drop box link in the dropdown menu. No green check marks next to my files. Really frustrating when you pay for PRO and can't even easily share the files! Dropbox c'mon help us out!
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5
Having this same issue, no option for "share" in the contextual menu, and no green check next to files in the folder...
Is there a SOLID fix for this other than a restart?
Anyone from Dropbox chime in on this??
I have half of this problem -- no "share" option in the dropdown menu from Finder, but files seem to synch properly and Finder displays the green check next to them.
Dropbox is the ONLY Finder extension I have.
I'm running 10.10.5 (Yosemite).
Will definitely consider other file sharing options; this is annoying.
Same issue after installing El Capitan. I just had to open my dropbox app and re-signin.
Hope that helps, maybe I just got lucky
Thanks Cyril, that worked for me!
For anyone (like me) who isn't sure how to quit the Dropbox app, it is in the "system tray" (the line of icons where the clock, wifi icon, volume control, etc are), rather than the dock. Right click on the Dropbox icon, and then click on the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the window that drops down. Quit should be an option in the dropdown menu. You can then relaunch Dropbox from the icon in your Applications folder. After doing this, the share option reappeared in the r-click menu from Dropbox files for me.
Don't know if this answer if redundant from the others, but I have this problem , too. I can share via email, or airdrop, plus others, but just want to share a link. So don't forget you can do at your dropbox website account - very easily, but, yes, you have to navigate to the website and log in.
The option to copy and attach a link to an email to a client has gone....?? I'm running on Windows 7 so I am assuming an update has taken place and this issue has occurred. I have tried re-booting my PC but nothing has changed. How long are before you guys are planning on sorting out this mjajor issue??
Thanks Julia K. that worked for me - thanks all SO MUCH - lifesaver!
I switched from Safari to Firefox and my share button returned so happy!!
I spoke to a senior Apple advisor and that was what he suggested...
