    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for checking, &lt;SPAN style="color:var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/776640"&gt;@lynnl999&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So after some investigation, it would seem that indeed, some options for Windows 10 users have been removed from the right-click menu, including the "don't sync to Dropbox.com" option.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Apologies for the inconvenience this might cause you.&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Right click menu not showing "Do Not Back Up This Folder"</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a backup package and I back up my desktop in addition to other files.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For the past few weeks, right clicking on a folder does not reveal the context menu item "Do Not Back Up This Folder" or whatever the exact language used to be.&amp;nbsp; Apparently, there is no other way to do this either?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The only right click Dropbox options I see are "View on Dropbox.com," "Make Online Only," "Version History." and "Send a Copy..."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I use my desktop for temporary files and folders that I don't want backed up all the time.&amp;nbsp; I really need this functionality back.&amp;nbsp; I saw today that Dropbox had updated, but this still isn't working.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My only option is to pause syncing altogether, which is a recipe for forgetting to turn it back on.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi there &lt;SPAN style="color:var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/776640"&gt;@lynnl999&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Could you please let us know if you're referring to files you've &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all" target="_blank"&gt;backed up&lt;/A&gt; to your Dropbox account or files that are stored in your Dropbox account and syncing in your Dropbox folder on your computer?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A screenshot of the options you're getting would also help, &amp;nbsp;so feel free to send us one.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you could also clarify your device's OS version and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs/system-tray-menu-bar" target="_blank"&gt;menu bar/system tray&lt;/A&gt;, I'd appreciate it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/776640"&gt;@lynnl999&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, is the "don't sync to Dropbox.com" option also missing from other files in your Dropbox folder or just from your backup files?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Can you send us a screenshot of the right-click options from a Dropbox file outside the backup folders?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;is the "don't sync to Dropbox.com" option also missing from other files in your Dropbox folder or just from your backup files?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Yes, I don't see it on anything.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Can you send us a screenshot of the right-click options from a Dropbox file outside the backup folders?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sure, but I didn't think the "don't sync to dropbox" option existed outside of the backup folders.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Screenshot 2023-11-15 084821.jpg" style="width: 800px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/42093iF86044615F6A7A74/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2023-11-15 084821.jpg" alt="Screenshot 2023-11-15 084821.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/776640"&gt;@lynnl999&lt;/a&gt;, sorry to jump in here.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you go to your &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all" target="_blank"&gt;Manage backups&lt;/A&gt; settings, are you seeing an option to unselect the subfolders you want, and not have them sync to your Dropbox account?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, selective sync works, but it's not really a good option for the way I use my desktop.&amp;nbsp; I need to be able to quickly tell Dropbox not to back up, not dig through preferences and menus.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Was this functionality intentionally removed?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey again, &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/776640"&gt;@lynnl999&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, sorry for the delay here, we're actually still looking into this for you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;While we do so, can you also follow the steps in Sam's post &lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/View-download-and-export/Dropbox-right-click-context-menu-missing/m-p/718717/highlight/true#M49472" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;, to make sure this doesn't have to do with the context menu itself not showing the option?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yeah, I really need this fixed.&amp;nbsp; I shouldn't be punished for not wanting to upgrade my OS.&amp;nbsp; I don't care if you give me new features, but as a paid customer, that doesn't mean I should lose the existing ones.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
