My "share dropbox link" option in the drop down box is gone, how do I get it back?

I'm trying to send a link to someone and I have the file saved to my dropbox but I don't have the option to share the dropbox link. This just started as I shared a link a few weeks ago.

    Hey folks,

    This might be because we're interfering with other Finder extensions (Creative cloud etc) you may have running on your computer.

    While we're working on fixing the bug with Apple, you *could* disable the other Finder extensions in System Preferences > Extensions > Finder:

    ></p> <p> </p> <p>Try it, and let me know if that works.</p>

Having this problem too. I'm running OSX 10.7.5 and Dropbox 3.8.8.

It appears I have lost "Finder integration" I no longer see sync status icons next to my files, or have access to Dropbox's contextual menu options by right-clicking on files.

According to this Dropbox help document, I should not be affected as it states:

"This issue only affects Macs that have OS X 10.10 Yosemite installed and have installed the Dropbox desktop client. This does not affect users running OS X version 10.9.5 or lower."

Please help! Sharing files and folders are a real inconvenience without the contextual menu options.
