Finder right-click menu missing for Personal Dropbox (Business account works)

Hi, I have both a Personal and Business Dropbox account linked on my Mac (same Dropbox app). The Finder right-click menu (Sync, Share, etc.) only appears for my Business account, not for my Person...

I think here lies the clue, the path to my personal Dropbox folder:
Macintosh HD / Users / Dropbox (Personal)

Is it possible to avoid reinstalling? I have two Dropbox with a huge amount of files, it took me days to sync (even with selective sync).

Hi from me too, elvinvandalen! Can you also clarify the filepath to your team Dropbox folder? 

Other than that, I can see that your Dropbox app is currently in the process of syncing a large amount of files, which could affect the options you see when right-clicking on your Dropbox files. 

Is the app still trying to sync all these files, or has it made progress since you last posted your screenshot?
