Duplicate Dropbox Options in Context (Right Click) Menu - Windows 11
Title pretty much sums it up. When I right click a file in dropbox or Winblows explorer tree, there are 2 sets of Dropbox options.
With other installed apps and options I've enabled, right click m...

Hi,
I have those entries too. This is not a one user issue, it's a "feature" of your desktop client. I wonder why the people at support don't know that this is not an error, but something embedded into the software.
Please, correct it or, at least, tell us how to consolidate the Dropbox entries, because this is ridiculous and quite annoying to have all those options (many of them duplicated) bloating the context menu.
Fix this ASAP, please.

Exactly!
Whenever I'm told: "Uninstall and reinstall", I'll ways take that to mean: "We've got nothing really and/or we don't want to spend much time sorting it out."
If this is by design, the team at DB needs to shake their collective head.

I've just downloaded and clean-installed newest beta build 171.3.6135 and I can tell you this issue has not been resolved. Three weeks ago a community moderator assured us this was a know issue and was being worked on. Three weeks later and no progress has been made.
What a slap in the face of the community and all the paying customers.

Thank you for the info. This should be an easy update, since, IMHO, it is about a simple registry hack, isn't it? Yet, many days have passed, and no update has been launched for the Dropbox client. So, I'll believe it when I see it.
The certificate error when launching Dropbox has not been solved yet, and this was reported ages ago.
I truly hope I'm wrong, but allow me to remain skeptical about Dropbox's user support.
