No option to open Dropbox link in Finder?

[theactualangie]

I seem to be missing the setting that allows me to open Dropbox folders in finder instead of in a browser. Can someone please tell me how to open a Dropbox link in Finder? My Mac is: macOS Monterey; Version 12.5. 

Two images are attached. As you can see in the second screen shot, I do not have the option I am seeing available to others online.

We run files through dropbox and are continually sharing file links with each other for easy access - however really dislike how the links open in a web browser and not in finder - we have dropbox set up on Macs and would love the option to open in finder so we can use applications on our computer to edit them eg Word, Excel etc and not have to use web versions.

Is this likely to be an option in the future?

Hi Megan

I have just received notification of a new update for Dropbox for Mac uses. Does this address the issue I was having at all?
Thanks

No. Links will still open in a browser on the Dropbox website, as intended.

Ok thanks Rich, very disappointing

Don’t know why this is marked as Solved. This is one of those features that I thought Dropbox supported and am disappointed every day to find out it doesn't.

In my opinion an absolute basic feature. Either there should be an option in the Finder to copy a direct link to the Dropbox file so that other team members can open it directly in the Finder and/or a button in the web interface: "Open file in Finder"
