Dropbox Business - No Option to Share Link from Computer

[wimlibby]

I have now lost the option to right click on a file in Windows Explorer then select Dropbox> Copy Dropbox link. The only option now showing under the Dropbox submenu is "Send a copy (business)". I use the copy Dropbox link option multiple times a day and wondering if there is a way to get that option back. 

I saw a previous from October where the Accepted Solution was to uninstall and reinstall Dropbox.  

I have tried that twice and it did not fix the issue.  Still only have "Send a copy (business)" as the only option and I can't "Copy Dropbox link"

The version installed is 192.4.4605 - which is the same version on my other computer and I don't have this issue on that computer.

Hi there @wimlibby - thanks for joining our Community and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

Could you please clarify your device's OS version as well as the status of the desktop app as shown in your system tray/task bar at the moment? Is it 'up to date' or syncing perhaps?

A screenshot of the options you get when you right click on files inside your Dropbox folder would also help.

Thanks!

I am using Windows 11 - all patches installed.

Dropbox had been current and updated when I had the problem.

Since I have reinstalled Dropbox to try and fix, it is still re-syncing.

This is what I see now - badThis is what it was and what I need back again.

Hey @wimlibby, thanks for the added info! 

It might sound trivial, but is there a chance that you recently updated your OS? 

Also, have you tried restarting your device at all?

[wimlibby]

I have not recently done any OS update, just the standard patch updates.

I also rebooted the computer after the two times I uninstalled Dropbox before installing it again.

I wanted to make sure that Dropbox was fully uninstalled.

Gotcha, thanks for letting me know @wimlibby!

Have you also checked our Community Manager's troubleshooting steps here? 

[wimlibby]

I tried that step and didn't fix it.

Hey @wimlibby, let's try one more, last thing shall we? 

Our collaborator here, shared some steps on how to resolve that, and these would be the ones I'd share too. Would you mind giving that a go?
