Thanks for posting on our forum today, evelynoliv!
When saying that the context menu isn't working on your Mac device, you mean that the options are missing, correct?
Can you please check this post and let me know if you followed these steps in order to relaunch your Finder?
Besides the context menu options, are you also unable to see syncing icons next to your files in the local Dropbox folder?
Keep me posted for more info.
