Dropbox StaffHi there mickliq, thanks for dropping by.
Could you make sure that the desktop app is running when you navigate through the web to find the "Open with" button?
You can check that by seeing if the Dropbox icon sits on the menu bar, next to your computer's clock.
If it is there, could you also let me know what it shows when you hover over it?
Give me a nudge whenever you have the time to check this out!
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, of course Dropbox is running (I referred to in as part of the workaround...)
What I see in the "Open with" depends on the file type I choose, but basically for "Office" type files, it will suggest a choice of relevant Office 365 Online app and Google docs app. Again in my example of a doc/docx file, it would show Open in Word Online or Google Docs. For an xls it would suggest Excel Online or Google Sheets...and so on.
Sorry I hit send too quickly.
In terms of what it says in the status bar when I hover over it, it says Dropbox 111.3.447 | Up to date

Also, have you tried manually enabling Flash on your browser? Maybe that will do the trick.
