Mac app for creating files via context menu?

Does anyone know of a Mac app that allows you to right-click on (or in) a local directory on your Mac (that syncs with Dropbox) that will allow you to create new files?  I've been using an app called New File Menu that used to work with Dropbox.  But ever since Dropbox move their local directory to ~/Library/CloudStorage, this app no longer works.

    Hi Robert F.41, thanks for your message.

     

    As this is related to the Mac OS system, we wouldn't be able to provide any specific recommendations.

     

    However, I'll leave the thread open for other users to contribute their suggestions!

        As it is a third party app you're referring to, and not the default Finder window, I'd recommend getting in contact wit the developers of that app for them to look into this matter in more detail on their end.
