Folder commands missing from "background" right click when I click on empty space next to folder
Hi there, previously, one was able to right click in empty space on a folder and have the same commands show up that show when right clicking on a folder:

This is a duplicate of another bug, since it's being ignored by dropbox staff now.
I'll try to explain the problem again without referencing the prior issue, so that maybe I can find different words to describe it in a way that will be finally understood.
The problem is simple. On Windows 10, when right-clicking in the empty space in an explorer directory set to "Large Icons" view, no dropbox context menu appears. This is what most people would use to get the share URL for a directory they're working in. The context menu which should appear (and used to, and still does on Windows 7), is the one which is accessed by the following workaround:
1. Navigate up one directory
2. Rightclick on the entry for the directory you were just in.
To put it another way, the expected behavior is that the dropbox context menu for a directory be the same whether you right click on the directory item inside its parent directory, or in the empty space inside the directory itself
Cool, got attention from staff to merge it to the dead thread but not to respond to it. World class support.
