That's interesting. I'm on the latest Beta release (207.3.5664, released yesterday) and the option is still there for me. Have you reinstalled the app yet?
Has anyone confirmed it worked to reinstall the app? This sounds like a huge pain to have to do this to get a feature which was already there. So Dumb Dropbox!!

Hi jg2599 ,
We've passed your feedback onto the team and they're currently looking into it.
We'll update you as soon as we have any additional information.
Hi DBX_Pedro,
Do we know if this feature is coming back? We were in the middle of switching away form client portals to simply using this feature; however, it not to become available once again using the right-click method is would not be worth us changing our current process. Just need some feedback if possible.
Thanks,
