"Copy Dropbox link" in Finder

MacBook Pro 2018, running Ventura 14.1

 

I've just updated Dropbox to work with File Provider.

 

Previously, in any Finder window there was a top-of-window Dropbox dialog that included, among other things, "copy dropbox link" for a highlighted file.

 

Is this gone now? Can it be brought back?

    Hey Mark Edington - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

     

    Can you please let me know the app's exact status and version as shown in your menu bar?

     

    Also, are you not getting the mentioned option when you right click on your files in your Dropbox folder?

     

    Could you send us a screenshot of the options you get perhaps?

     

    Any additional information is more than welcome, Mark. 

     

    PS: For the expected changes with the Dropbox for MacOS on File Provider, you can have a look here

      "right-click" works (although there is no "right-click" in the OS -- that's a Windows idea). Menu interface integration is gone. Why?

    Hi Mark Edington, in your initial post you mentioned the "copy dropbox link", but the screenshot shows something entirely different.

     

    Are you referring to the context menu by any chance? If so, could you send me a screenshot of that, and also let me know the app's exact syncing status

     

    As for the menu interface, can you also share some info about that? 

     

    I just want to make sure we're on the same page here, before I proceed to give you all available info.
