It sounds like you're right-clicking on a file that's outside of your Dropbox folder. The Copy Dropbox Link option will only appear for files located within your Dropbox folder, while the Send with Transfer option is available for files located anywhere on your computer.

I'm having this same problem on my Mac. It was working fine, but then I had to do a TimeMachine recovery and it hasn't worked since. All the files and folders are in my Dropbox folder, but when I right click to share a link none of the Dropbox options are there. Not sure why this feature as disappeared.

Hey VideoRobb, I hope you're doing well!
Can you let me know the syncing status and version of your app; along with your exact OS?
If I were you, I'd also do a quick re-install just to see if the behavior remained the same.
Keep me posted on what you find.
