    Has that ever been an option? Dropbox links have always opened in a browser because they're links to a website. To the best of my knowledge, you could never click a link and have it open in Explorer or Finder.

     

    The option you highlighted in the Preferences wasn't for opening links in Finder vs. the website. It was for opening folders either in Finder or the Dropbox desktop app, which no longer exists.
