The right-click options for Dropbox are missing from macOS Tahoe 26.1.

Hi everyone — iMac M1, Dropbox sync works but Finder integration is gone. I first saw this on macOS Sequoia 15.5 and I’ve since updated to macOS Tahoe 26.1 with no change.

Online-only files in my Dropbox folder show as 0 KB and download/open fine on double-click, but there are no Dropbox right-click options in Finder (no “Make available offline”, no “Online-only”, no Dropbox submenu).

Tried: enabling Dropbox File Provider in Login Items & Extensions, granting Full Disk Access, relaunching Finder/rebooting, and full uninstall + reinstall from Dropbox .dmg. Still missing. I even contacted Dropbox Support and they haven't given me any solutions yet.

Has anyone found a fix or workaround to restore the Finder context menu actions?

Thanks!

Sorry to see that you're having this issue, @Laksshya.

Let's see what we can find out.

As a first step, can you please go to the "sync" tab of your Dropbox preferences to confirm the correct location of your Dropbox folder?

Also, if you have any third-party cloud apps (e.g., Google Drive, OneDrive), please close them to see if it helps.

Keep me posted on the results and we'll go from there.
