The context menu is missing in my Windows device.

Hi Nancy , unfortunately that didn't make any difference either and I also tried shutting down DropBox then restarting with 'Run as Adminstrator'. I am a local administrator on the PC as well.

Hi again, Andrew. Can you send me one more screenshot of the options you see now, when right-clicking on your Dropbox files?
Other than that, I’d like you to temporarily disable iDrive and OneDrive (based on what I see on your second screenshot). Does that make any difference?
Hi Nancy, no problem please see the screenshots below - this is after I've disabled iDrive and OneDrive which didn't seem to make any difference.

Hey Andrew1705 - thanks for the screenshot!
It seems that you're running some other 3rd party apps that might be taking space in your right click context menu options. Could you try quitting them all temporarily, as a test, and let us know if the issue persists?
Hi Walter , I don't think that's a problem as it appeared in the first menu when I first installed and and the first time I right click - there is nothing else in that menu and as per my screenshot of the registry it's in the top 15 as requested anyway?
