Hi CLoeffler2 as none of the Dropbox context menu is appearing for the second image are those files within the Dropbox directory?

Both the folder and the file are outside of the dropbox directory.

Hi CLoeffler2,
I've asked a member of our engineering team to look into this as it was largely fixed for most users, but we have had some reports trickling in since the fix was implemented. Is this still happening, and if so, are you consistently unable to see "send a copy" in the context menu, or is it always missing?
Let us know and we can go from there!
Thanks,
Ben
- CLoeffler25 months agoExplorer | Level 3It only shows up when you right click off of a file, then you can send a copy of the entire folder. I found a work around to be right click in the folder, then hit send a copy, then delete the folder, and drag and drop the individual files I need to transfer. I rarely need to send the content of the entire folder in the transfer.
