    Hi Nancy 

     

    I just finally was able to test your settings and it works. it was indeed the extension that was unchecked for Dropbox. I restarted and it works now.

     

    Thank you,

To be clear, are you actually right-clicking on the Dropbox itself, or one of the folders within it? You won't get those options on the Dropbox folder; only on the items within it. You can't share or transfer your entire Dropbox.

    Correct, the file that I want to share or any other submenu options available for Dropbox use are not showing up.
