Apps and Installations
Have a question about a Dropbox app or installation? Reach out to the Dropbox Community and get solutions, help, and advice from members.
Similar to the other user who is having this problem on windows, sometime ago (I don't remember when), the dropbox options that appear when you right click a file (of particular use for me was Create Dropbox Share Link) no longer appear. No Dropbox related options under Share either. The app seems to be installed and working correctly, and syncing fine. I've tried deleting and re-installing the app.
Hey there @SGalbraith - sorry to hear about this; could you provide a screenshot of the app's exact status as shown on the app at the moment?
In the meantime, you can try relaunching Finder by using the following steps:
-Save any files that you have open and close any applications
-Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen
-Click on "force quit"
-Relaunch the Finder.
Let me know how it goes!

Thanks! Relaunching finder solved it!
Much appreciated.
I have the same issue but relauncing the finder didnt fix it. any other ideas?
Sorry to hear that @visualhaus!
To get these options, the desktop app must be up and running. If it is indeed running and you're not seeing these options, could you forward me a screenshot of its exact status as shown on the affected computer?
This will help me investigate further if needed.
Thank you!

I had this issue and found the answer in System Preferences >> Extensions >> All. There I checked the box next to Dropbox > __ Finder Extensions.
I can't find the extension for dropbox, but only a checkbox for OneDrive, other than reinstall the Dropbox( not working), any suggestion? I use the Mojave and the latest version of Dropbox and the iMac is a brand new setup.
