One possible reason for the missing context menu items is that the app wasn't installed with admin privileges.

Dropbox StaffHi davelgil, thanks for messaging the Community!
The wording for the online-only/local has changed recently. Now, the options you would see are 'Make available offline' or 'Make online-only'.
Please let me know if you're not seeing these specific options, and also what version of Windows you're using.
This will help me to assist further!
Hi. Thanks for the response! I'm not seeing those options either. I am currently using Windows 10 Pro.

Are any Dropbox options appearing when right clicking a file or folder? Is the Dropbox desktop application running and syncing normally?
Could you attach a screenshot showing your right click options (while hiding any filenames or personal info) to see what you're getting?
These are the options that show up. The only Dropbox option I see is "Send with Dropbox Transfer." Everything else syncs properly. I can see the files on the dropbox website and my colleagues can access the files when I sync them.
