Right-click options missing in MacOS.
Based on previous threads here, the solution seems to be to quit both Dropbox and Finder, but that has not worked for me. I have the Dropbox icon active in my menu bar, but don't have any right-click...
Thanks for the info, as you're running the new version of the Dropbox desktop application for Mac OS, context menus for Dropbox should only appear when you're right clicking files in the Dropbox folder itself. You shouldn't get any Dropbox options for files outside the Dropbox folder.
Hi Hannah Thanks for your reply.
The files in Dropbox have normal right-click options yes. Here's some additional screens to show my settings.

Thanks Jay - I appreciate the explanation, but am very unhappy about this. Do you know if it was an Apple thing? I used that "send to Dropbox" option all the time, and I can't drag files onto the Dropbox shortcut anymore either 😞
Regardless, I appreciate the help.

Hey cloudstoragelover, I do understand this is quite inconvenient and I can also confirm it's one of the expected changes after the update.
We do appreciate your feedback, though, and I will make sure that your comments are passed along to our team.
If you need anything else, just give us a shout.
Will this be fixed in future updates? This is a major drawback to the beta and will have to revert back if not.
I frequently use finder to search for a folder, right-click the folder for context menus and send away.
The only work-around is to right-click once it's found in finder to "Show in Enclosing Folder" then manually scroll to find the right folder to then right-click for context menus... with larger file directories - this is a hugeee pain.
This means that outside the dropbox folder on mac, I can no longer select "send via transfer" which is really frustrating. Is there a plan to resolve this?

Currently, as this is expected behavior with the newer version of the Dropbox desktop application, it wouldn't be possible to revert this change.
Is there a plan to find a way to bring this back? Can it be requested as a feature request/voted on etc?
