I have the same problem, I tried reinstalling to a new location and I cannot share any file or folder from inside the dropbox location.

I do get the "Transfer a copy..." option but only for single files (i.e. no more than one).

When clicking the dropbox icon in the tool bar, I noticed a "rocket" icon and a "1/3", so clicking I get this window: I tried to click the other two checkboxes but nothing changes.

Any idea?

I'm on Windows 10, OS and Dropbox updated to the latest version.

Thanks for letting us know about this, grdn.

Also, what do you see when you hover over your Dropbox icon?
