There's no option to make files/folders "online-only" after the last Dropbox update on Win11.

3. Yes, I've tried quitting, rebooting, etc.

It's possible that the last update was not Dropbox but Windows. The net result in Windows was the addition of a "Status" column in Windows explorer that I believe is designed for their OneDrive or SharePoint solution.

    Thanks for all the screenshots, Padmewan! I really appreciate them. 

    The extra “status” column that you mention is indeed the result of upgrading to Dropbox for Windows (you can see all info about the expected changes here). 

    As for your missing Dropbox options, I see there’s a “New” and "Show more options" button when right-clicking on your Dropbox folder. Can you please select those and let me know what you see?

    Other than that, I’d suggest logging out of the Dropbox app next, and then signing back in. If that doesn’t help either, you can go ahead and reinstall it instead, in case you haven’t directly.

      Thanks. "New" offers "Folder," and I gave you the screenshot of what I see when I choose "Show more options" ...

      ... and actually, as of this morning, "Dropbox" is now restored to the main context menu! I'm not sure if an update came through or what, but it's now back to its original behavior after a hiatus.

      Thanks for helping out! (I'm sure you know this, but the "server error" messages made this forum hard to use over the last day)
