How to copy highlighted text when editing a doc

How to copy highlighted text when editing a doc

In Dropbox Essentials on Windows 11 pro , when I am in edit mode and I highlight text, I cannot copy the highlighted text to paste onto another document. Is there a solution to this.? Right clicking of the mouse does not list a copy option.

I found that Firefox does allow me to copy by right-clicking on highlighted text- but  I was not able to do so in Chrome or Edge

Hey there @ramespi23  - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you please clarify where you're editing your docs? is this on the website or locally on your computer?

 

If it's the former one, have you tried clearing the browser's cache or using another browser?

 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
