The Dropbox right-click options are gone from my Mac's Finder.

I recently changed the location of my Dropbox folder and now I no longer have my right-click menu. Dropbox is running and everything has been synced. I've restarted and reinstalled dropbox and it did not fix my issue. 

Latest version of Dropbox: 221.4.5365

MacOS: 15.4

    Hey there, EREP, let's jump right into this! 

    Can you share with me the app's exact syncing status at the moment? 

    You also mentioned that you recently changed the location of your Dropbox folder. Can you confirm that these were the steps that you used? If not, feel free to clarify. 

    Lastly, can you please follow these steps to restart your Finder and let me know if there's any improvement?

    I'll be waiting for your updates!

      1. "Your files are up to date" 
      2. Yes I moved my Dropbox folder using the method above.
      3. Dropbox does not show in Finder Extensions (see Screenshot)
