    Hi Megan,

    Thank you for the update.  Reinstalling Dropbox seems to have done the trick, the context menu is back and I have the Cloud API version still (225.4.4896).

    On the downside, despite the folder location being the same it needed to redownload a huge amount of my files - it's a good thing I don't have an internet cap!

    Thank you again for taking the time to reply.

Hi there, SE1derful​, let's jump right into this! 

As a first step, would you mind hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon in your task bar, next to your WiFi? That should give us the version of the Dropbox desktop app that you've installed on your machine. 

Also, can you try out these steps, and let me know if they make a difference?

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Hi Megan,

Thank you for the reply.

My app version is 225.4.4896.  I  don't have any app overlay icons missing, and my computer is a personal device so I don't have access to Intune to manage any policies.

    Hey SE1derful, you're most definitely right! 

    I hyperlinked the wrong reply, and thread. My apologies for that!

    I reinstated the link, and it should now point you to these steps, which are the correct ones. Can you take a look?
