Missing "Copy Dropbox link" from the drop down menu on Mac
Hi!
For years now I have used the right click - copy drop box link to allow people to download files from my dropbox. All of sudden in the past couple weeks that option is no longer available in that drop down mwnu. Drop Box app is running, and the app logo is present at the top of my desktop. I have unlinked and re-linked my computer. Running OS X El Capitan, Macbook Air.
Please help
Thanks

this has been solved, i deleted & re-installed dropbox however it didnt delete all folders. I've since manually deleted all folders & re-installed which has resolved the issue.
This worked for me!
Thanks!
I had to simply uncheck it, then recheck it. That solved it after I updated to High Sierra.
Thank you! Unchecking and then rechecking worked for me! I really didn't want to do the uninstall and reinstall riggamaroll!

I have had the same issue on and off for a long time on Mac. Sometimes the copy link option is available sometimes it isn't. I've scratched my head for a pattern to no avail. Nothing I do seems to fix it including re-starting, re-installing, etc. - but wait a few weeks and the link suddenly appears again.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that something is changing under the hood at DropBox. As I dimly recall, it started at around the time the "Pay-for" version came out and/or the "public folder" was retired. My first thought was that DB had deciced to make this very convenient feature only available in Pro - but it re-appeared a few weeks later.
I had the same problem (running Big sur) did everything that was mentions above (in other reply's) but in the end I downloaded the latest dropbox version and reinstalled the app. Afterwards everything works like it used to!
thanks for all the tips!
I have a MacbookPro 13" 2018 w/touch bar. I installed the new MacOS Big Sur earlier this week -- and now the Copy Link is missing in the Dropbox icon dropdown menu. I have tried what has been noted in this forum. I have contacted Dropbox customer support via Chat. Nothing works.
So frustated I'm ready to hurl laptop across the room after trying to fix this for more than 3 hours.
I don't see this is a Big Sur issue. The issue is with the Dropbox dropdown menu from the Dropbox icon in the nav bar. There is simply no way to select "copy link" while looking for the appropriate file to attach. Dropbox took something was not broken and complete screwed it up.
