In Ubuntu 16.04 you can remove the context sensitive menu option for Dropbox with this:
sudo mv /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so{,.bak}
A backup is created in case you wish to revert (for example too much functionality is removed).
Next close Nautilus and reopen it:
nautilus -q
nautilus
In Ubuntu 18.04 the directory name has changed to /usr/share/nautilus-share/interfaces but I haven’t got around to testing 18.04, 19.04 or 19.10 yet.
In Ubuntu 22.10 the directory name has changed to:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-4
