The dropbox app is working because it is giving me the option to send with transfer, but it isn't giving me the option to Copy Dropbox Link.
Where is the file located? The Copy Dropbox link option is only available when you right-click on a file or folder located within your Dropbox folder. Clicking on files located elsewhere on your computer will only offer the Send with Transfer option.

It is in Dropbox.
One thing that has changed since last week is I now have a work dropbox - so my regular dropbox has become my "personal" dropbox.
