There are 9 (NINE!) dropbox entries on my context menu - none of which I want or will ever use. There's no easy way to get rid of them. I am annoyed by the arrogance of dropbox engineers who clutter my menus without permission. So annoyed that I am ready to drop "dropbox" completely and look for an alternative.

      I also am not happy with all these entries in the context menu when right-clicking a file.  I have 8 entries dedicated to dropbox alone, which I cannot disable.  This is more than a little annoying.  At the very least, could they be clustered into a single entry that could expand when hovered over, similar to how 7zip works in the menu?
