I know now that Dropbox hacks the Finder to insert these icons and context menu items, based on the FinderLoadBundle architecture (similar to this), but manually running the executables inside FinderLoadBundle.tgz under Dropbox.app » Contents » Resources doesn't do anything either.Īll of these I've done over and over again, in random permutations. Manually run /Library/DropboxHelperTools/DropboxHelperInstaller, results in this console output (also with sudo): 28642 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.

My Dropbox context menu is missing in OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
