Finder context menu missing for Dropbox files on macOS

Hi to all...

I just wanted to give a heads up:

Some team members were still suffering of missing sync icons in Finder View after updating to MacOs Tahoe 26.2.

We found out that there is a conflict with Adobe Creative Cloud File Provider extension.

When turning it off, the sync icons for Dropbox integration appear to show up.

Just for the records.

Thanks and best

Juhn

Juhn you are an absolute lifesaver. Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been trying to get my Dropbox sync icons back for days, tearing my hair out and this was the fix. Turning off the Adobe Creative Cloud File Provider extension immediately brought all the Dropbox Finder sync/status icons back for me. For anyone else stuck: System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Extensions → turn off Creative Cloud (File Provider) No restart needed  icons came back straight away. Honestly cannot thank you enough. This needs way more visibility because it looks like a real conflict introduced with the recent Dropbox app update. Huge thanks again 👍.
