You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Remove Dropbox options from the context menu.
Hi, recently Dropbox has started cramming my Explorer context menu with all of these options I mostly don't plan to use:
Come on. Do you think it's ok to just dump all your stuff in ther...
Everyone: I figured out how to do this. Save this as "disable.reg" and double click. You're welcome.
If you want to revert, do the same thing but replace every instance of ="" with =-
Dropbox menus do look and feel a bit wordy and clunky in Windows 11 especially when compared to the competition.....
The context menu changes when selecting an individual file.
Dropbox tries to use only one context menu for everything ...
- Thanks for the tip, midrare.
Can we trust that your fix is safe?
Best, CIt's what I'm using with zero issues. All this does is add Dropbox context menu shell extensions to a blacklist in the registry. I'd be surprised if anything happened.
I agree that the Registry edit should be quite ok. Just a question -
I had previously attempted basically the same as your registry tweaks by using utility apps that allow "editing" the Windows context menus. These are just UI's that tweak the registry for you.
But the problem I had with Dropbox what that it was "all or nothing". You can either remove all option, or get all of them, but you can't remove ones but keep the others. And you can't put them all in a sub-menu.
So, do you know of any way to remove some options but keep others? Until Dropbox fix the blatant mistake, of course.
