MacOS – Missing a lot of options from Finder’s right click context menu

No idea what caused this or why it's happening, but when I right click something in Finder I'm missing a lot of the standard options that should be there (dropbox options, labels, etc). I've restarted several times, relaunched Finder, repaired disk permissions, and nothing's worked.

From your question it looks like your Dropbox is misbehaving.

Do you have the latest version of Dropbox? Reinstall Dropbox with the newest version.

Dropbox uses a "hack" which extends the Finder (in an unsupported way) to provide this "sharing" link. Because these "hacks" can cause crashes, Apple tends to disable them when newer versions of OS X ship. There's probably a newer version of DropBox that gets around these restrictions that you'll need to download.
