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...
This is hardly a new problem, but it continues to amaze me. I figured it would have been addressed by now.
How does Dropbox think it's okay to overload the context menu with their garbage?
- there is no option to disable in settings
- majority of users need all these features
- the actions could easily be condensed into a menu (similar to the open-source PeaZip example below)
- as a power user I had registry hacks to remove entirely but that ability was removed in a previous update
End result is that I only launch Dropbox as needed to sync. The first time I right click on a file it reminds me to exit the app. Also this has convinced me to never subscribe to a premium plan. I mean, why would I? A large, publicly traded company ignoring years of user feedback about a huge pain in their core service. There's plenty of other options.
