Hey Frustrated user1, thanks for letting us know about this.
Are you seeing this when right-clicking on files in the backup folder or just any and all files in your Dropbox folder?
Also, what's the sync status of the Dropbox application? You can hover over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar with your mouse, to check.
Let me know what you find.

Hi Hannah,
I'm seeing this on all folders and files. there is no option to 'share'. Syncing is up to date.

Thanks for the update here.
Would you mind sending over a screenshot of the options you see?
Also, what version of macOS are you running on your computer and which version of Dropbox do you have installed?
You can see the Dropbox version, by hovering over the Dropbox icon again.
