How do I get "send to Dropbox" as an option when I right click a file in File Explorer
On my old Windows 10 computer I had the ability to right click on any file using file explorer and the option "Send to" would appear and I could then select "Dropbox" and the file would go to Dropbox location on my desktop. My new Windows 11 computer does not show "Dropbox" as an option when selecting "Send to".
How do I get Dropbox to appear as a "send to" option in Windows 11?

That's not a function of Dropbox. The "Send to" menu is just a collection of shortcuts and is a function of Windows. If you want to have Dropbox listed, just create a shortcut to your Dropbox location and add it to the "Send to" menu.

Have you installed Dropbox?
Yes, Dropbox is installed.
When I right click the file I would like to update in my Dropbox account, I get the following:
Move to Dropbox Selecting this moves the file rather than copying the file. I want the original file to stay in its original creation location.
Send a copy ... Selecting this then opens a transfer box. I don't want to transfer the original file to someone else using email.
I simply want to put a copy of the LibreOffice writer file into my online storage on Dropbox.

Hi Dropinanytime, I hope you're doing well!
Can you clarify the version of the app that you're using on your end, please?
You can either hover your cursor over the Dropbox icon in your system tray, or you can go into Preferences and see the version number on the General tab.
I just want to make sure that you're using our latest version. If you could also send us a screenshot of the options you have, when you right click onto a file, that'd be lovely.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
