Smart Sync not showing up

My PC previously installed the Dropbox with Smart Sync function, but recently after an update I have lost this function and I don't seem to see any on/off switch in preferences nor on the right click...

    Hey again bennchann!

    For the first error message that you showed there, can you check out Jay's reply here on another thread to see if that does the trick?

    I'm thinking that resolving this should also fix the second error and issues with Smart Sync that you're having at the moment.

    Let me know how it goes!

Hi Daphne, 

 "Dropbox system extension" had been toggled on previously, I have just tried to reinstall Dropbox and seem to have these two error popping up.

 [IMAGE LINKS ARE BROKEN AND CANNOT BE DISPLAYED]. 

Is there anyway I might be able to fix this ? Really appreciate the help, thanks!
