Right-click options missing in MacOS.
Based on previous threads here, the solution seems to be to quit both Dropbox and Finder, but that has not worked for me. I have the Dropbox icon active in my menu bar, but don't have any right-click...

Thanks for the info, as you're running the new version of the Dropbox desktop application for Mac OS, context menus for Dropbox should only appear when you're right clicking files in the Dropbox folder itself. You shouldn't get any Dropbox options for files outside the Dropbox folder.

Hey wtravlr1, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
Can you please confirm that you're on the new Dropbox for macOS version of our app (with the Dropbox folder located in ~/Library/CloudStorage)?
If that's the case, then this is the expected behavior, I'm afraid.
I've moved your post to a relevant thread, so make sure to check out the solution posted by Jay.

yes using the newest ios and os for dropbox. on mac Sonaoma and IOS 17.0.3. and the right click no longer works. Really like the ease of it instead of having to open two apps to transfer a file to drop box. I only transfer files as I need to and really used the right click. menu. Please put it back!
