Right-click options missing in MacOS.

Based on previous threads here, the solution seems to be to quit both Dropbox and Finder, but that has not worked for me. I have the Dropbox icon active in my menu bar, but don't have any right-click...

    Thanks for the info, as you're running the new version of the Dropbox desktop application for Mac OS, context menus for Dropbox should only appear when you're right clicking files in the Dropbox folder itself. You shouldn't get any Dropbox options for files outside the Dropbox folder.

Thanks Jay  - I appreciate the explanation, but am very unhappy about this. Do you know if it was an Apple thing? I used that "send to Dropbox" option all the time, and I can't drag files onto the Dropbox shortcut anymore either 😞

 

Regardless, I appreciate the help.

    Hey cloudstoragelover, I do understand this is quite inconvenient and I can also confirm it's one of the expected changes after the update.

     

    We do appreciate your feedback, though, and I will make sure that your comments are passed along to our team.
