Hi PeterLM, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please clarify which version you've got installed on the affected computer at the moment?
Also, since you were able to successfully install the Dropbox desktop application in the newly created profile and the issue was resolved, it means that there may be some sort of mis-configuration, setting, policy, or permission restriction that is affecting the original profile.
Do you have any 3rd party apps or services that might be monitoring your Dropbox folder in the original profile for example?
Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there.

I have had the same problem: the non-existing contextual menu. Sadly the cache solution worked only for one interaction and then not anymore. Dropbox support does not seem to understand my problem at all and the answers I get are not helpful. Are there any other solutions to help me get my contextual menu back? I am on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) and running the blasted MacOs Monterey version 12.3.1.

Thanks, Walter! I'm running Dropbox v142.4.4197 and yes I agree my original main profile must have something blocking full Dropbox access but I just can't find what that is...
