Is the right click context menu only available on Finder?
I use Path Finder exclusively on my Mac, so would definitely welcome it if the feature could be extended to Path Finder too.
Otherwise, is there a way to unsync or share links without right-clicking on Path Finder?

Hi,
The context menus are done via OS X’s extensions framework. Unless PathFinder can make use of those, it most likely is not possible.

Is there another way besides context menus to toggle individual file/folder syncing?
Maybe a web interface or something?

Our context menus are coded against the OS X framework, so I don’t think there is anything that can be taken from that and put into PathFinder.
You can take a look at this post, which was written to help support older versions of OS X. The service items there may be of use to you in PathFinder
I wanted to clarify that odrive will still run on 10.7 - 10.9, but it will be missing the context menus and overlays.
For those interested, I created a few (“unofficial”) simple service scripts this morning that can be added to Finder to allow right-click sync, unsync, refresh, and status for these older versions of OS X, using the CLI underneath. Definitely not as nice as the native Finder integration context menus, but it is an OS X supported way to add right-click menu options to Finder. I d…
