Hi nadahashmi, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you right clicking on files within the Dropbox folder, or from outside the Dropbox folder?

 

Could you attach a screenshot showing the options you currently get when right clicking in Finder?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    I right click on files within the dropbox folder - so a file that is contained in a folder in the main dropbox folder. I am attaching a screenshot.

      Hey nadahashmi, thanks for the screenshot!

       

      Could you please let us know if the desktop app is running and syncing normally in your menu bar?

       

      Also, are you navigating your Dropbox folder on your computer or another location perhaps? It's not quite clear in your screenshot.
