Dropbox macOS 11 Big Sur Problem: Finder Integration and Smart Sync
Dropbox version v110.3425 in macOS 11 is not showing integration in the finder menu. It is also not showing smart sync notifications in finder windows. Anyone else have this problem?

Could you please try the following steps:
-Click on the Dropbox icon
-Open your Activity Monitor from your Mac Utilities folder
-Search for "Dropbox" in the search bar, and click the "x" on the top left, to force quit everything related to Dropbox
-Re-start Dropbox from the applications folder by double clicking on the Dropbox application
-Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen
-Click on "force quit"
-Relaunch the finder
Thanks!

Issue is in Finder I would say, after Force Quit and relaunch of Finder it works.

This has been a problem with Finder and Dropbox for some time. I suspect this is why Dropbox created there own finder-like app, limited as it is. The solution is for Apple and Dropbox to start playing nice together, or for Apple to improve its own cloud storage capabilities. I suspect the latter is the future. I restart the Finder 5 x a day to get it to recognize Dropbox. Microsoft and Google are also cloud options.

I solved! And I confirm from my side, it's a findeer problem with MacOs update.
This was my way:
1. Go dropbox folder in your finder
2. right click
3. go to "quick actions" (under tags) and click on submenu "customize"
4. a window "extentions" will open.
5. On left index go to "Finder extensions"
6. Deactivate and re-activate "Dropbox Finder Extension"
Now all works just fine!
