Thank you Nancy

Click the black Share selected button on the left.
Thank you!!!
So...but, this still isn't the same as before because it is sharing the folders in the folder vs the root folder those folders are in. Last week sharing the root folder was simply accessible in a pull down menu that was there before when you hovered over "share folder". Thanks for this but it's not optimal.

Move up a directory to the root folder and then tick the folder name and use the option you just used.
Thanks Mark...yes, that's what I've been doing. The problem is though is that the folder my other folders are in, has a lot of folders in it so then I have to go find the folder in that folder, that I want to transfer. It is a work around that works but is clunky in comparison to what was just one click away before. Not sure why it was removed.
