Hello, do you happen to have an old unlinked Dropbox folder in ~/Library/CloudStorage? I was having the same problem until I deleted that folder, now it (~/Users/<username>/Dropbox) works for me on Tahoe 26.1.

DROPBOX MACOS SYNC ISSUE with Dropbox Finder Extension missing on MacOS 26.1 : SOLVED!

Yes I DID HAVE old unlinked Dropbox folder(s) in ~/Library/CloudStorage! 

In order to solve Dropbox Finder Extension not working, 

  1. Quit Dropbox.
  2. Used AI to give me Terminal commands to remove all Dropbox related files.
  3. Clicked the small "Delete - Dropbox - Personal" and "Delete Dropbox CompanyName" button in the Finder at the User/Library/Cloud Storage/.
  4. Reinstalled Dropbox. Made sure "Online-Only" was selected in the Dropbox Preferences - Sync settings.  

Dropbox is indexing the Folders and Right-click menu items are present. I have no clue how this solved anything or how this came to be in the first place. The current install DID NOT create new directories in the User/Library/Cloud Storage/. No idea how this happened before.
