I have had the same problem: the non-existing contextual menu. Sadly the cache solution worked only for one interaction and then not anymore. Dropbox support does not seem to understand my problem at all and the answers I get are not helpful. Are there any other solutions to help me get my contextual menu back? I am on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) and running the blasted MacOs Monterey version 12.3.1.

Mine has worked perfectly ever since I cleared all cookies, cache, history etc. Perhaps try clearing everything? Good luck!

Hi Peter,
I am habing the same problem. Can I just clarify what cash/cookies/browsing history you cleared? For your browser? Safari? Chrome?
And if you indeed meant the browser cash - do you know why that affected the finder context menus?
Also, Have you tried reinstalling dropbox? I mean of the original user.
Thanks a lot!
