Dropbox Finder Extension doesn't work and I have no Dropbox context menu items on new installation
I just installed to Mac OS Tahoe. I no longer have the "Make Available Offline" Feature available to me when I right click on a folder. All of the Dropbox list items are now gone.
There's no way to...
Just completed a chat session with Dropbox support which has clarified things. Here are the steps and explanation, esp. the note at the end:
Quit the Dropbox desktop application.
Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder.
Search for "Dropbox" in the search bar. Force quit out of any instances of the Dropbox application that might be still running by clicking on the double arrow and selecting 'Stop'. (On mine, once the app had quit, they disappeared by themselves). NOTE: Ignore any dropbox processes that relate to web pages (e.g. www.dropbox.com).
Re-start Dropbox from the applications folder by double clicking on the Dropbox application.
Relaunch the Finder: click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen and select 'Force Quit...' (or press CMD-OPT-Esc). Select Finder. Click on "Relaunch" to relaunch the Finder.
Click on 'Dropbox' in the Finder sidebar under the 'Locations' heading. (This is different to selecting the external drive first and then navigating to the Dropbox folder.) Select a file and right-click. The Dropbox options should now appear.
PLEASE NOTE: As per above, this only applies when you access Dropbox files via 'Dropbox' in the iMac's 'Locations' section in the sidebar, not if you start navigating from the external drive name. If you navigate from the drive name, the context menu does not show the Dropbox options when you right-click a file.
Apparently this is an issue with MacOS Tahoe.
Related to this, the Dropbox status icons operate the same way. They only show if you navigate from the 'Dropbox' location, not from the External drive name.
Hope this helps!
