Dropbox options missing from right-click context menu

Windows 11, XYPlorer v26.10.0200 (portable mode, fully paid and registered).

XYPlorer is set as my default file explorer (via "shell integration").

I have Dropbox installed.

When I right-click on the same exact file (in Dropbox) in XYPlorer, I don't get the usual Dropbox context-menu options ("copy link to file" etc.). See below.

Update:
1. I used to see the Dropbox options in the past.
2. Also, the way my computer is set-up, I have XYP (portable mode) and Dropbox in a Veracrypt encrypted drive. And after logging in I have to enter the Veracrypt password before either XYP or Dropbox become available. I'm not sure if Dropbox options missing from the context menu happened before or after I set up my computer with Veracrypt.

My question: what do I need to do in XYPlorer to get these context menu options?

Click on the Show 64-bit Context Menu entry?

Then you’ll have to wait for the x64 TwinBasic XY version, this will probably fix it

Thank you.

I wasn't familiar with twinBasic and the plan to port to it.

Couple questions (in case you know the answers):

- I just found the thread where admin announced the twinBasic port. It seems like VB.NET was a disaster and since then Microsoft has basically given up on VB. Is this true? Any idea why such a huge megacorp couldn't rescue one of their most important projects?

- Any idea when the first twinBasic port will be released?

It will be released when Don feels it's ready for prime time.
In the meantime, the latest beta version with bugs and glitches is available now...

Just dropping in to confirm that all the Dropbox links show up in this twinBasic version.

I'll wait for a more stable 64-bit version to upgrade.

Thanks.
