"copy dropbox link" missing or replaced with "send with transfer"?
The main thing I use Dropbox for "copy dropbox link" is no longer appearing when I right click on a file in Windows Explorer. I've tried what all the other "missing copy dropbox link" articles have...

Hi plshalp, this can happen with Quick Access links, and they might redirect to different locations.
In general, if you're directly navigating to the folder in the Dropbox folder itself, it should contain all the context menus when you right click.
Are you able to see the sync icons when you view files via the Quick access link?
I'm happy to hear you've found a workaround to this matter.

The quick access links in Windows 10 used to allow the option of right-click "Copy Dropbox link" because I too always used that. Now you have to navigate to the folder direct, not using quick access. It means having to go through multiple file trees to get to the folder that is right there in quick access in explorer. Why did that change to only the "send with transfer" which is almost never helpful?
