Dropbox - no "Dropbox -> Copy Dropbox Link" on right click in Nautilus
by Chris Watts from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52ADG)
I have just installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my old desktop computer (Dell Inspiron). I installed Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software. I already have it running on my laptop (also Ubuntu 18.04).
The installation seemed to go satisfactory and I was able to log in to Dropbox, open the Dropbox folder from the icon in the to bar and the folder synchronised with the one on my laptop. Everything looks OK, with the synchronising symbols showing.
However, when I right click on a file in the Dropbox folder there is no Dropbox-> item, whick should include the option to Copy Dropbox Link, which does happen on my laptop.
Files which are not in the Dropbox folder do give a Dropbox-> item which only has the option Move to Dropbox (which I could perfectly well do by dragging or cutting/copying and pasting.
What Have I done wrong, and how can I put it right?
