Problem

My Dropbox context menu is missing in OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8). While the Dropbox service runs normally, Finder doesn't show the icons and also doesn't give me the ability to browse files on the website or copy the public link.

What I've tried

  • Removed ~/.dropbox and ~/Dropbox/.dropbox.cache
  • Reinstalled Dropbox.app (both 1.4.7 stable and 1.5.0 experimental), went through the setup again
  • Restarted Finder
  • Logged out and back in

All of these I've done over and over again, in random permutations.

I've made sure that

  • Dropbox appears in the Login Items under my Account (and I've never touched that)

I don't know if ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items is missing the Dropbox plugin or if there shouldn't be one after all.

In any case, I can't get the icons or the menu to appear.
