The Share option is no longer available in the desktop version of Dropbox in Windows

Share is no longer available in the desktop version of Dropbox in File Explorer on my laptop. I have quit Dropbox in the Taskbar and re-launched it, but share is still not there. It was there 2 days ago, but after a Windows update, it's not there anymore.

    Hi dbBettie, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    What options are you currently seeing in Explorer on your device?

     

    A screenshot showing this location would help greatly.

        Hey vcampb0, sorry to hear about this.

         

        From your screenshot, it seems that you don't have any sync icons either; is it possible that the Dropbox app is not running?

         

        What do you see when you hover over the Dropbox icon in your system tray?
