Hi. I have been using GoodSync for a few years. I have 3 licenses and use it to sync between 3 desktops and 1 laptop. Lots of the data is not suitable for Dropbox (Essentials) storage and so I need to use both. Some synced folders are common to both apps. When Goodsync detects a sync (during a manual sync), it prompts and…

I know that I can remove Dropbox from the context menu entirely in regedit, but I don't want that. I want to just remove some of the items on it and only keep "Copy Dropbox link" and "View on Dropbox.com". Alternatively turn it into a submenu so that it doesn't show all those options every time I right-click a file.…
