"Open in Finder" and "Open in Word" not showing in Safari OSX for Mac
Hey folks,
When viewing dropbox files from the Safari browser (Safari v 13.0) I can no longer see the "Show in Finder" or 'Open in Word" / "Open in Adobe Acrobat" options for files.
I also have Chrome installed on my Mac (v77.0.3865.90) and I can confirm that these DO work on Chrome. See pics below.
These items used to show in Safari, however it seems that after updating to Safari v13.0 this has stopped working.
Any ideas for resolution would be gratefully received as Safari is my default browser.
Cheers,
Scott

Hi redegg
Sadly there's still no solution to this despite the issue being raised back in September. Whern I raised this issue with Dropbox Advanced Support they dismissed the issue as a third-party software issue... (I am confident that this isn't the case).
Our whole organisation is affected by this and it seems that others outside of our organisation who use safari as their browser of choice are also affected.
It's a very dissapointing usder-expoerience considering the significant amount of money I pay for a Dropbox Professional Subscription.
All the best for a solution. Let me know if you find one...

Hey peeps, thanks for all your updates here!
I'd just like to ask, redegg and tsigel, do you both have Flash Player 10 or later installed and enabled on the Safari browser?
If you open Dropbox in an incognito/private window, do you still have the same issue?
Let me know and we'll take it from there - thanks!

Is there any solution to this? There is nothing on these forums other than installing/reinstalling dropbox or flash, none of which resolves the problem.

Hi up12345 ,
I'm sorry to report that there's still no solution to this. It's pretty annoying.
Let me know if you find a way to solve this.
Warm regards,
Scott

thanks Scott H. what is not clear to me is whether this is unique to a few people or whether everyone on safari experiences this problem - any idea if its a general problem?

Hi up12345
Everyone that I know who has a mac using safari as their default broswer seems to have this problem.

Yes I agree: my colleagues using Safari have the issue as well. But I've been emailing with Dropbox support and providing info, so hopefully it will be fixed soon!
