Right click menu not showing "Do Not Back Up This Folder"

Right click menu not showing "Do Not Back Up This Folder"

I have a backup package and I back up my desktop in addition to other files.

 

For the past few weeks, right clicking on a folder does not reveal the context menu item "Do Not Back Up This Folder" or whatever the exact language used to be.  Apparently, there is no other way to do this either?  

The only right click Dropbox options I see are "View on Dropbox.com," "Make Online Only," "Version History." and "Send a Copy..."

 

I use my desktop for temporary files and folders that I don't want backed up all the time.  I really need this functionality back.  I saw today that Dropbox had updated, but this still isn't working.  My only option is to pause syncing altogether, which is a recipe for forgetting to turn it back on.

Yeah, I really need this fixed.  I shouldn't be punished for not wanting to upgrade my OS.  I don't care if you give me new features, but as a paid customer, that doesn't mean I should lose the existing ones.  

Need more support?
