Hi!
I think this might have something to do with newest versions of Safari rigorously blocking Flash (which is required for the Open buttons to appear).
You could double check that you have Flash installed, then make sure it's enabled for www.dropbox.com in Safari settings. This used to work at least on the previous Safari version, haven't tested on the new 13.0.1 version though.

Thanks Juunas and Walter for your help. I've tried everything you suggested but am still having the issue.
Junnas - I've got Flash (ver32.0.0.255) installed and enabled for www.dropbox.com in nSafari settings. This used to work for me in previous Safari versions also but it seems not to be working in version 13.01 of Safari. Such a frustration.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
I just now had the time to test on Safari 13.0.1 and also couldn't get it working. Would be nice if there was a future-proof implementation in the works, since Flash is starting to be quite the legacy solution these days. Keeping my fingers crossed to see this back in the future.
