How to remove an transfer option from context menu windows 11
Hi, it has been bothering me for a while that there is a Dropbox option in every menu. I have never used it, I do transfer files to dropbox via a folder - I organize the files right away.
I removed the transfer option from the old menu (the same way as for win 10, described somewhere on the forum, I have a .reg file to make it easier), but as you know, win 11 also has a second, new context menu. I can not remove it, and I have not found any help on the forum or in google. Is there any key option in the registry to disable this menu? Or at least team can add an option in the dropbox settings to enable/disable integrate with the menu, so as not to mess with the registry editor? Not everyone needs a ton of options on the menu.
Propably solved. I will let you know in a few days if this sick menu has returned after an update.
In Dropbox v138.4.23.92 just delete the three folders with the name dropbox in the menu in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PackagedCom\Package" and restart app

this should work after restarting and even after dropbox update
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked" /v "{ECD97DE5-3C8F-4ACB-AEEE-CCAB78F7711C}" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked" /v "{FBC9D74C-AF55-4309-9FB2-C426E071637F}" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
Thanks for this tip. I removed the DropBox right click options on one Win 11 machine but the fix missed the "Transfer with" option on another.
