Can I delete the Dropbox context menu items in Mac Sonoma 14.4.1?

SY8

Hi. All.

I would like to ask some questions about Mac finder extesion option.

As you can see below figure, I already have set extension option in Finder.

However, I want to see just "Copy Dropbox link" option.

Could I change this setting to remove other options?

If you know, please answer me.

My macbook version is Sonoma 14.4.1

Dropbox version is v198.4.7615.

Thank you.

Thanks for posting your question, @SY8.

At the moment, the context menu (right-click) items are a part of the Dropbox application's usability, so they cannot be deleted.

Quitting the Dropbox app or uninstalling it, would remove these options.

I hope this clarifies things, but let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Hannah,

as SY8 clearly demonstrates, the context menu is really populated a lot by your menu items and an icon next to all of them. I took my own screenshots. Context menu for desktop folder and for dropbox item. I did not put a red rectangle around them, they are more than clearly visible.

I wonder, if you guys at dropbox like it. I really don't. It pollutes the interface, takes up space and distracts me.

As dropbox matures, It offers more and more functions, that I, as a user, do not use and most probably will not use. I can imagine why you do that, but I don't need them. If you insist on offering them, there is always a clever way of hiding, bundling etc.

I do not want to criticise, I just want to hear your opinion on that. I imagine, that you have some UX and UI experts.

Have a good day,

David

When I took these shots, there was a colourful popup window offering screenshots backup to dropbox...
