Dropbox says I have 11,000 files waiting to be uploaded, I don't recognize the name and I want to see where it is located... but right clicking the file does nothing. Give me the option to open file ...

Community ManagerHey there csnoke thanks for dropping this suggestion. I have a quick question for clarification.
I'm assuming you're using the Windows based Dropbox desktop app because you made reference to right clicking files. If a file is in your Dropbox folder waiting to be synced and you right click on it, you have the location of the file in that moment, correct?
If I'm misunderstanding (likely), please correct me
I'm not sure I understand your question. The graphic below shows the issue I'm facing. 15k files to sync, I have no idea where in my dropbox these files are located. I have several terabytes of storage on my dropbox and no idea where these came from, but I want to figure it out and not wait two days. I would like to be able to click (right click, option click, whatever OS click you desire) on this list and open the file location.
Furthermore, it would be EXTREMELY beneficial if you could open the full list of files in the sync waitline, rather than just few a handful in this window. This is becoming more important as Dropbox glitches out more and more often these days, and syncing freezes. However you have no way of finding which of your files had not completed there sync yet in order to protect them whilst you go through the drastic and infuriating process of trying to reinstall Dropbox and connect back to your old folder location (and yes, I have used the Advanced Options feature, which appears to no longer let you choose your old folder anyway... see endless loop cycle of options to either "select another location" or "rename folder" that other users have reported already).
