I agree with Rich. Google "dropbox icon overlay missing" (or something like that) and you will see a lot of discussions on the topic, including those within this forum. If you have multiple apps installed that use icon overlays and modify the context menu then they can conflict with one another. The simplest solution would be to uninstall those apps (or disable a function within) if you are not using them or configure them to not implement icon overlays (if possible).
