Hi Ricardo, I'm running Dropbox 1.2.52 on Lion, and I don''t have this problem. When I put across the stanza.dmg file in my public folder and used the context menu for the link, I found under the "Dropbox" submenu the options for "Browse on Dropbox Website", "View Previous Versions", and "Copy Public Link" -- which is what I used to send you the original link in Stanza.
The Dropbox directory is set up as a symbolic link on your system. Is it possible there is something wrong with the disk that stores your account on the Dropbox site? If I log into Dropbox at: https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public I can view my Public folder items, and use the context menu. But I notice that navigation order is weird on the Public page after I bring up the context menu. What happens is that you only get to the context menu options after you navigate through all the items listed in your folder. To get around that, after you do your VO-Shift-M, bring up item chooser menu (VO-I), and type "Copy" so you can navigate to the first of the context menu options. Them you can either VO-Space on the copy option, or continue to navigate to the other context menu items. Alternatively, use the "Search Dropbox" text box to type in part of the file name. That should filter what is displayed on the page. That's how I discovered that when you use the context menu shortcut, then navigate the files on the Dropbox web page, you get all the files in your folder announced by VoiceOver before you get the announcement of the list of items in your context menu. I don't keep lots of items in my Dropbox Public folder. You probably need someone who uses Dropbox a lot to help you troubleshoot. HTH.
