How to remove all Dropbox options from context menu?
So dropbox insert itself in context menus of Windows 11. I don't need those options. Surely there is an easy way to deactive them?
Thank you so much for your reply.
It appears I have solved the problem. Even though the error message says the forward slash is not an acceptable symbol it works!
Interestingly enought though, the forward slash is replaced with a colon when I few my files on a mobile device such as my phone or iPad. Weird.
...and yes. I am running the most current version of both DropBox and iOS.

Unfortunately there is no supported way via Dropbox to do this.

what? I appreciate your answer but really hope someone knows a way to do this. I have a hard time believing a program would install itself in places like this when you don't want it. What I want is a drive, feel wrong to force themselves in people's context menu unwanted. pCloud drive does this with a simple setting. Thanks though, I don't mean it against you, if it doesn't, I personally feel like this is a real bad design of Dropbox, I've found many people trying to get rid of it on different forum - solutions didn't work for me.

The biggest issue is that it will reinstall it every time there's an auto update - which is about once a week.
There are no official ways, you will need to find some sort of registry hack or similar.
Sorry.
Also, try considering finding and upvoting any similar ones on the Ideas board.
