Hi,

Hey there TopCat23, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please clarify your device's OS version and the version and status of the desktop app as shown in your system tray as well?
If you could also send us a screenshot of what options you're seeing when you right click on your files in the Dropbox folder, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

If so, you could try turning them off one by one to see if matters improve with the missing Dropbox options.
