"Open in Finder" and "Open in Word" not showing in Safari OSX for Mac
Hey folks,
When viewing dropbox files from the Safari browser (Safari v 13.0) I can no longer see the "Show in Finder" or 'Open in Word" / "Open in Adobe Acrobat" options for files.
I also have ...
I am having the same issues with Safari 14. Chrome shows these two options, but safari doesnt. Dropbox clearly has not cared enough to fix this issue, even though it is being experienced by everyone. With the new Safari and Mac updates - a lot of people have left chrome and moved to Safari, but Dropbox has not cared even now to fix this!!
Also, FlashPlayer has reached its end of life - and adobe will be discontinuing flashplayer in Jan 2021. They had announced that three years ago: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html So what happens now! With no flashplayer, how is dropbox planning to handle this? It is high time dropbox did something about this feature as it is very crucial for the quality of dropbox and our experience with it.

Dropbox StaffHey everyone, thanks for all your questions on this.
We're not expecting any impact on the deprecation of Flash Player as Dropbox isn't using it.
I hope this helps puts your minds at ease, but if anything else comes up, just give us a shout. Cheers!
What about the 'open in finder' issue? Is there any news on that? Like others I had to switch to Chrome as a main browser to efficiently use dropbox, since my collegues and I send each other a lot of dropbox links.
Yes, what about "Open in Finder" with Safari which is still missing?
I will not use Chrome, as it drains too much battery and has increasingly more performance issues.
