It's interesting that I also have an account with sync.com and I don't have this problem with their macOS application.

NewFileMenu version 1.7, released last month July 2023, has been updated to resolve this.

 

 

It works a little differently in Library cloud storage folders like Dropbox now. It's enabled via Quick Actions, accessible from context-clicking (right-clicking) on the folder itself, rather than inside the folder.

Pretty straightforward once you've set it up.

 

Sync.com btw doesn't yet use the new MacOS cloud storage folders so that's why NewFileMenu still work the old way there.
