Hi Danny Wyatt, it looks like you’re running the beta version of the Dropbox desktop application.

To install our latest stable version, visit this page, switch ‘Early releases’ to Off, and then, re-download the app from here.

Could you also ensure that the Finder extension for Dropbox is enabled in the Mac settings?

Hi Jay 

 

Thank you for your help. That did the trick (downloading the other version, because the Extension was already turned ON).

    Hello,

    I'm having the same issue on Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1

    My Dropbox version is 147.3.4786 – I've tried the non-beta before but was having the same issues.

     

    There's no context (disappearing) menu when I right-click and no icon on any folder as well. I've also tried the steps of uninstalling + installing, and very annoyingly it doesn't solve 😞

      Ok, I just solved it by going to my Mac settings -> Extensions and I've found out Finder Extensions has been disabled when I updated my Mac.

      Thanks everyone in this thread (and community) with the many tips and tricks.
