The issue stems from a migration from a previous Mac. I've gone ahead and wiped my Mac clean, reinstalled Dropbox, and now everything works again with context menus and right click option. thanks

Hey @kbabby, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Can you let me know which exact version of the Dropbox app you're using and what the current sync status is?

You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.

Can you also send us screenshot of your current right-click options?

Does syncing work as normal?

Let me know and we'll go from there.

I had to delete a wrong "Dropbox" folder. Then I reinstalled Dropbox and it worked.
