I used to be able to share items in a dropbox but that no longer shows up. How do I get it back?

Thanks for all your help. My grandson fixed it. He said I did not finish installing the upgraded dropbox that I had purchased. Now it is working! I am happy!

Hi @LT retired 

Is Dropbox still running on your machine?

Yes. I just upgraded it and I am paying more now.

Hey @LT retired, I hope it’s alright if I jump in. 

 

Can you let me know more details about where you were seeing the “Share” option previously? 

 

Are you referring to the local Dropbox folder in your File Explorer/Finder perhaps?

It was in the local dropbox folder in the File Explorer. The share option showed up when I right clicked on the dropbox folder and I could share. I no longer get that option.

Hey @LT retired, sorry to jump in, but could you send us a screenshot of the options you get when you right-click on files in your Dropbox folder? 

 

Also, what's the desktop app's exact status as shown in your system tray/menu bar at the moment?
