Dropbox desktop app version history?

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a versionhistory of the last couple of dropbox updates somewhere, I'd like to see what changes were made and issues fixed. Can't find anything on the website.
I'm still having a hard time with dropbox not showing it's contextual menus in finder on macos.

Plus, I'd like to update dropox by myself, I don't like automatic updates (and not be informed of changes at all).

    Hey MacDropper, thanks for reaching out to our Community.

    You can find a list of our client releases here, however you won't be able to see the changes made on each update.

    Also, our client gets updated automatically, but we do appreciate the feedback on this. I will make sure your comments are passed along to the people responsible.

    As for your contextual menu items missing, can you tell me if you troubleshooted at all?

    Can you try closing the app from the Dropbox icon in your menu bar and then relaunching it from your applications folder, to see if that helps?

    Keep me posted!

    HI Hannah,

    the missing contextual menus is a sometimes-better-somties-worth issue, but since bigsur it appears nearly evers day now.

    There are workarounds, discussed endlessly in DP community, but til now, Dropbox did'nt find it necessary to fix this issue.

    A workaround is not a fix.

    Btw, why is Dropbox not showing what is fixed in the updates? I think this is a good habit, even Adobe does it.
    Seems that Dropbox takes Apple as standard...
