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:
I had the same problem.I clicked on the dropbox icon at the top of the screen the gear icon then quite dropbox
dropbox icon>gear icon>Quit Dropbox
Then reinstalled Dropbox and now its back
I switched to Firefox from Safari and it works fine
I have the issue from today. I did the following
1. Rebooted
2. Quit Dropbox from System Tray, relaunched from App Menu
Nothing is giving back the Share Menu for Dropbox.
Use Firefox instead of Safari..that worked for me!
Same issue.
On my MacBook Air (latest OS, latest Dropbox) Finder Integration vanished.
All this did not help: Stopped/restarted Dropbox, Stopped/Restarted Finder Integration, Unlinked Dropbox, Uninstalled Dropbox, Reinstalled Dropbox
I can't believe it ... this issue has been around since Yosemite, and still no official fix in El Capitan!
@Daniel R:
please get a grip & relax, the world will thank you (and you will thank yourself later too)
concerning the issue of the disappeared sharing options
This solved the issue for me:
My share dropbox link that allows me to click on and add e-mails to share files in my public box is gone. How do I get it back?
Unfortunately this did not work for me. I followed the instructions exactly but never got the link functionality back. I can link from the recently changed files list, but not from finder. OSX version 10.12, Dropbox version 12.4.22
Not sure what happened, but suddenly the links came back... about one hour after the reboot... it works now (hope it will remain working)

hello Anvisha, having the same issue. how do i disable the creative cloud finder ext.?
yeah and they won't even **bleep**ing respond and you can't get a **bleep**ing human. How is this -- my assistant is somehow administrator even though I am paying -- natch, being double and triple charged by them, and they won't **bleep**ing respond. Assholes. On another note, anyone have recommendations for cloud storage once I suspend my dropbox account and get my duplicate charges back?
I had the same issue within minutes of sharing another link. It seems that dropbox had stalled somehow. I was unable to open any of the options. I opened Task Manager (Windows 10) and clicked End Task for all of the Dropbox extensions listed under Processes. I then restarted Dropbox and everything was right back to normal. I'm sure that a reboot of the machine would have done the same thing but probably would have taken longer...
I had only the drop box showing in my finder so there was nothing to interfere with the problem. I unticked and reticked but no change.I am on the OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 but have been using it perfectly well since it was installed, so clearly, you solution is not the answer.
I tried to do this but it did not work. When will this issue be fixed? I do not like having to share files from the Dropbox website.
Same here but on a mac book pro using two fingers on the trackpad works
Two-finger tap on the track pad worked for me too. It shared the dropbox link. Control-click still does not work. This is a very recent development. Neither log-out and back in nor restart had any effect.
I am running the latest version of Dropbox (39.4.49) and Mac OS 10.13.1.
