It should be impossible/illegal for programs to install themselves on the Context Menu without an option to toggle off. Brand new machine, within 3 months, has context menu so long it's almost useless. And typically slows down the opening of said context menu.
Much as I love Dropbox, and typically feel their code is good, this is a big fail.
I have no affiliation with this program, but it makes it very easy to remove the Dropbox Transfer option from right click menu (while leaving other Dropbox Explorer integrations in tact)
It also has several other system tweaking utilities. Runs a tad bit slow, but much easier and safer than registry hacks (which is what it's typically doing for you behind the scenes). You can easily toggle items off, so you can get them back if desired. Or just remove them completely:
This is clearly a registry setting. So why Dropbox can't expose that option via their UI is a big mystery. Doesn't seem in keeping with the rest of the company spirit. Nor does it seem like much coding would be required to provide this option natively in the UI.
