Selective Sync ('Do not upload' option) disappeared from Finder on Mac 14.7.1

So I've been using this option a ton before, like, when you work with a super large files and you don't need to upload them all while working on them, so there was on option in context menu "dont sync to dropbox" in finder, now it dissapeared? 

Is this bug or permanent now? Im on MACOS 14.7.1 and Dropbox v214.4.5217

    Hi itsmaku, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Just to confirm, you're not seeing either of these options as visible in this article?

    Could you copy and paste a screenshot showing the current options you get when right clicking a file in the Dropbox folder in Finder?

    This will help me to assist further!
