Appreciate the update, I feel your pain!
Sounds like Dropbox is not Tahoe-ready at this point.
Sorry to hear you’re having the same issue, ajw31. I understand that all Dropbox options are also missing when right-clicking on the files/folders in your Finder > Dropbox folder. Correct?
If you were previously on File Provider, but not anymore, I’d like to verify first that there are no remnants of any File Provider-linked folders still on your computer.
You can double check this by opening your Finder and pressing Command + Shift + G and enter: ~/Library/CloudStorage. Do you see any old Dropbox folders in that location?

Yes, the Dropbox options are missing when right-clicking on the files/folders in my Dropbox, which is located on an external drive.
Re your second question, yes, there is an old Dropbox folder. However, this may have been created because I have just migrated from an old iMac to a new one and as part of that installed Dropbox from scratch to get it to connect to my Dropbox on the external drive (which was its own nightmare). Once I realised I was on File Provider by default after installing, I followed the instructions to opt out. My SSD is too small to have Dropbox on the same disk, and unless I opted out, would not be able to use Dropbox at all!

Hi ajw31, is the Dropbox desktop application running normally and isn't paused?
Do you have any sync icons on the files in the Dropbox folder?
Could you attach a screenshot showing what you're seeing when you right click a file?
