When right-clicking in a OneDrive for Business enabled/synced Folder (in the empty space within the folder) I get the following context menu entries in Explorer:
In DO these entries are simply missing whereas the Dropbox "Send with Transfer" menu entry exists:
When right-clicking on files within OneDrive for Business I do have these entries, e.g. I can "View Online".
What can I do to get these context menu entries I see via Windows Explorer? How come that Dropbox the Dropbox "Send via Transfer" entry exists, the others do not?
(For example, in the folder tree, or the last component of the path field (breadcrumbs bar), or by going up a level and right-clicking the folder you were in.)
Things like "WinMerge" or "Send with Transfer" I never manually added to the context menu hence they were somehow generated - not so much the OneDrive entries.
If you look under Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
what do you see there?
For example, on my system I see (among other things) FileSyncEx = {CB3D0F55-BC2C-4C1A-85ED-23ED75B5106B} which is the context menu handler for the non-Business version of One Drive:
I don't have easy access to the Business version, so I'm not sure if it would re-use the same handler, or have its own additional one. Do you see anything extra there on your machine? If so, what is the GUID (long number in {...})?
I have OneDrive for Business and this is what my registry shows. I never noticed it, but I have the same "difference" between right-clicking a OneDrive for Business-synced folder's empty space versus right-clicking the folder name.
Thanks! The menu items should appear in the background menu after the next update. Microsoft seem to be breaking their own rules here, but we added a simple workaround.
This problem, or at least something very similar, is appearing again. I use Windows 11 on a new machine, and the OneDrive context menu only shows in Explorer but not on DO. I asked MS for help but I'm not optimistic.
Note that just like @Leo, I have FileSyncEx in the registry.
