Home Forums Mac Software Mac Applications Dropbox problem

The "Dropbox" item that should be there is missing from my contextual menu when I control-click on a file in the Dropbox public folder in my main account; it is, however, present in my test account. (This is the case with both a regular boot and in Safe Mode.)

I've d'l'ed and re-d/l'ed two different versions of DB, installed it, uninstalled it, and reinstalled it in both standard and non-standard locations, and the issue persists.

Since this is happening with pristine installations, I can't begin to guess what may be causing it. (The only Dropbox file on my deuced Mac(hina) that is not in /Library is /Users/artie/.dropbox.)

Can anybody hazard a guess?

Thanks.

Update: I just found this:


DB has always been at the bottom of my list...insists on being there and moves itself back if I alphabetize it, but the pertinent pref was disabled, and since I enabled it DB works as expected.

You'd think they'd mention that stuff in the How to use the Public folder doc that's right there in the Public folder.

Edit: Suggestion submitted.

Interesting. Here in Leopard, my contextual menu works as expected in ~/Dropbox/Public/ as long as Dropbox is running—and Folder Actions are not enabled on my Mac.
