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

Ideally the entire community is updated on progress on this matter. I too have been (patiently) waiting for an update on this matter, and I am subscribed to this thread.
While I think it's great that you're offering to contact a few recently-vocal members of the community about this matter, it is relevant to anyone who has macOS and looking to use Safari as part of their daily workflow alongside Dropbox.
I am "stuck" using Chrome and only doing so in order to utilize Dropbox for Business. I imagine there are many folks like me, just watching this thread and waiting for an update. I fear taking the conversation offline won't be helpful to the broader community who are awaiting some kind of word on progress on this issue, even though we're not continually leaving comments asking for updates.
Hi Jay,
Yes, you may contact me. Looking forward to getting this issue resolved for our company and the rest of the community. I surely hope any input I can give you will help solve the problem. Hopefully we will have some good news to report to the community or at least a progress status.
@Jay, you may contact me.
Might I request help as well? I've been a Dropbox user with a paid pro account for over a decade and the lack of ability to open files via finder on my Mac from Safari is quite problematic for my workflows. It also does not work for me in Chrome-- the only options under "Open" are "Go to Folder" and "Connected Apps" when what I want is to "Show in Finder" or "Open in Finder." Thank you ☺️
Hi Scott, I read through all of your posts & the replies (9 pages worth) and it sounds like you've had the most luck getting help from the team at Dropbox. Do you have a solution yet? If so, I'd love to learn from you.

Oops, perhaps I should add that it also does not work for me in Chrome-- the only options under "Open" are "Go to Folder" and "Connected Apps" when what I want is to "Show in Finder" or "Open in Finder."
