Dropbox options in context menu when multiple files selected. Windows 11

Post by vinigor »

If the context menu is opened from Everything when only one file is selected, then the Dropbox menu options are displayed.
But if you select more than one file, then there are no Dropbox options in the context menu.
There is no such problem in the windows explorer, even with classic context menu

Thank you for the bug report vinigor,

I have very recently fixed this issue.

I will make another post here once it is ready for testing.

Everything 1.5.0.1327a fixes an issue with missing context menu items when multiple items are selected.

Everything doesn't have support for the newer Windows 11 menu items yet.

I have put this on my TODO list.

I wonder if it's possible to install the legacy Dropbox menu items?

These missing Dropbox menu items are working for me on Windows 10, but not on Windows 11...

Unfortunately, Shift + right click, Shift + F10, Windows context menu key and right clicking will all give the same context menu.

I am working on some possible solutions..

For me that works, I can select multiple files in the results and get the applicable context menu entries.
I have enabled the classic context menus, so that may be the reason.

Maybe the reason is one of the latest windows updates because a month ago everything worked fine

I forgot to make a note here..

Everything 1.5.0.1329a should now show the correct context menu items for files/folders in the same location.

Some Windows 11 context menu items may still be missing if you select files/folders in different locations.
