Win10 Machine - Copy Dropbox-link (inexplicably) gone

Hi,

 

As the subject line says, the Copy Dropbox-link option is gone.

Installed latest version of Dropbox, everything looks synced and nice.

 

Only way to send a link to a folder or file is going through the online-hassle. Windows Explorer no longer shows the Copy Dropbox link when right-clicking. Tried accessing the Dropbox-files both through the Quick Access shortcut and the other (more tedious) way, same result.

This is a major productivity drawback.

 

BTW : Also unlinked and re-linked the machine, no result.

Any other suggestions?

  • Hi,

    not sure how 3rd party apps would affect the missing link-issue.

    I did not disable any other apps , but I have completely removed Dropbox from my machine (uninstalled it through Add/remove programs).

    A fresh installation (after restart) solved the issue I had, the "Copy Dropbox link" field is now back and working properly.
