Hey,

Thanks for the reply.

The issue has existed since getting this machine new last March.

Many reboots and restarts of the program since then.

Issue persists.

Thanks for clarifying that for us BD_CSB 

 

Could you also let us know the app's version and status as shown in your taskbar? 

 

Also, have you tried reinstalling the app since you first noticed this?

    Hi,

     

    I have those entries too. This is not a one user issue, it's a "feature" of your desktop client. I wonder why the people at support don't know that this is not an error, but something embedded into the software.

     

    Please, correct it or, at least, tell us how to consolidate the Dropbox entries, because this is ridiculous and quite annoying to have all those options (many of them duplicated) bloating the context menu.

     

    Fix this ASAP, please.

      Exactly!

      Whenever I'm told: "Uninstall and reinstall", I'll ways take that to mean: "We've got nothing really and/or we don't want to spend much time sorting it out."

      If this is by design, the team at DB needs to shake their collective head.
