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 Personal one.

Details:

  • Both accounts are syncing locally (not using Backups or external drives).
  • Under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Extensions → Finder Extensions, there’s only one Dropbox entry, and it’s enabled.
  • Dropbox has Full Disk Access.
  • This is a clean install of Dropbox, not an upgrade.
  • Relaunching Finder and Dropbox hasn’t fixed it.


The Business Dropbox works perfectly with Finder, but the Personal folder has no context menu at all.

Has anyone run into this or found a fix?
