File Request option missing on macOs after File Provider update

Hello

 

Since I've updated to File Provider on my MacOs Desktop App, I'm not seeing the 'Request Files' option after right-clicking a folder.

I can still request files for each specific folder via the website file request form, but the ability to right-click and request files directly from the folder that you wanted just made the process A LOT faster.

 

Why is it gone and how can I bring it back?

    Thanks for posting about this on the forum, leolaurettimusic

     

    Besides the “Request files” option, are you seeing other Dropbox options in your context menu, like “Share”, “Send a copy” etc? 

     

    Besides that, I’d like to know your OS version, as well as the syncing status and app version of your Dropbox app. 

     

    Let me know, and we’ll go from there.

      Hello Nancy, didn't see this here
      SHARE and SEND A COPY are still showing, but the REQUEST FILES disappeared 

      MacOS 14.5 Dropbox v201.4.5552

       

      This issue is still persisting and I still can't access 'request files'
