Feature request: cascade context menu

Feature request: cascade context menu

My context menu in Windows Explorer (Windows 10) is very cluttered. In WinRAR, for example, the menu items stored by WinRAR in the context menu can be cascaded so that my context menu becomes clearer.

 

I currently have 8 Dropbox menu items on the first level of the context menu. The point "Smart Sync" is already cascaded.

 

It would be great. if Dropbox offers the option "Cascade context menu" in the settings of the client, so that all Dropbox functions are behind only one menu item of the context menu.

Totally agree. Too many items for Dropbox context menu and never use most of them.

Yes! And  everyone else too! It's totally out of hand when I have to sometimes even slowly scroll to use one of the most used functions of all....PASTE. 

 

And this is another of those "Shouldn't need X votes" to do it. It's the right thing to do for everyone although most people don't even realize it until after you make the change.

Context menus are getting out of hand. I had to remove Dropbox's context menu with registry editing — it's that unbearable. Now I have to rely on Dropbox app to make any changes — it's bothersome, but not as bothersome as having a gazillion of menu items everywhere. Cascaded menu is the only sane thing to do.

Please listen, Dropbox!

There are just too many Dropbox items in the context menu. All it should have is 1 instead of 7 currently. Please fix.

I know I will be hated for this, but I don't want the menu to cascade.  I want it to stay flat.  Wait... don't hit they reply button yet. 

 

How about this. 

 

I know that my example is a stand alone program.  And I know that there may be some red tape with Microsoft.  Well Dropbox, why not be the first to do it?

Very large menu, please compact this with config option similar to winrar, cascaded context menus and be able to select context menu items.

Example not sync with dropbox and history versions can go inside smart sync...

 

Please, it's very annoying!!
