Hey folks,
When viewing dropbox files from the Safari browser (Safari v 13.0) I can no longer see the "Show in Finder" or 'Open in Word" / "Open in Adobe Acrobat" options for files.
I also have Chrome installed on my Mac (v77.0.3865.90) and I can confirm that these DO work on Chrome. See pics below.
These items used to show in Safari, however it seems that after updating to Safari v13.0 this has stopped working.
Any ideas for resolution would be gratefully received as Safari is my default browser.
Cheers,
Scott
Hey everyone, thanks for all your questions on this.
We're not expecting any impact on the deprecation of Flash Player as Dropbox isn't using it.
I hope this helps puts your minds at ease, but if anything else comes up, just give us a shout. Cheers!

What about the 'open in finder' issue? Is there any news on that? Like others I had to switch to Chrome as a main browser to efficiently use dropbox, since my collegues and I send each other a lot of dropbox links.
Yes, what about "Open in Finder" with Safari which is still missing?
I will not use Chrome, as it drains too much battery and has increasingly more performance issues.
We don't have any further updates to share with you all at this point in time but, rest assured, we will get back to you as soon as we have any news.
Don't hesitate to give us another nudge if you have any other questions in the meantime.
Thank you all again for your patience and cooperation.

It would be reassuring to know that this is something that Dropbox is actually working on given that is affecting so many of us. Are you able to confirm this @Lusil
Very frustrating indeed. Since Safari 13 (we are now at 14), Drobox functionality in this browser is severely crippled. Too bad to see these features gone, as I heavily relied on them. For a loyal paying Dropbox Business customer, this is very sad to experience. It works in Chrome, but no longer in Safari.
@Lusil I think whats the most annoying is that it's such a mystery HOW it works. After Loren Brihter has posted the performance issues chrome has I downloaded literally every Chromium based browser and its shocking, because even google drives app launcher (which is equivalent to reveal in finder - "plugin?") is downloadable and launchable in these browsers. Dropbox isnt. At least tell us what exactly makes Chrome sync with the dropbox application. Or is it the dropbox application itself?
Do people really have to revese engineer dropbox to find out and make this feature work again?
Hope you can help out here to at least give a hint where this search could start.
I'm still waiting for @Lusil to respond to my earlier post. As a Dropbox Professional customer it would help give me confidence in the Dropbox p[roduct if I knew that Dropbox were taking this issue seriously, explained the issue and provide a timeline for remedy.
