Dropbox StaffThanks for your post, Film Rescue.
Just to clarify, is the option missing from the context menu on your desktop app?
Can you send over a screenshot showing where you were previously seeing the "send a copy" button exactly?
Finally, is this the only option you’re missing from your Dropbox account?
Let me know, and we’ll go from there.
Thank you Nancy
I've attached a screenshot. The arrow points to where I used to find "send a copy" so I could create a transfer. Now I have to find the file in a folder and right click on it in order to find "send a copy"
I haven't noticed any other changes

Click the black Share selected button on the left.
Thank you!!!
So...but, this still isn't the same as before because it is sharing the folders in the folder vs the root folder those folders are in. Last week sharing the root folder was simply accessible in a pull down menu that was there before when you hovered over "share folder". Thanks for this but it's not optimal.

Move up a directory to the root folder and then tick the folder name and use the option you just used.
