I cant see the "options" under Tools. Downloaded Mendeley today.

That is very strange. I checked for updates and I'm using the latest version and can see the "options". I'm not sure what is wrong.
I use MS-Windows 10 James, do you prefer Mendeley over JabRef? Why or why not, please?

I use the two differently. I mostly use Mendeley to manage pdf sources and also for citation management in Word. I use Jabref for managing my bibtex files for referencing in LaTeX.

In overleaf also the process is the same, just create .bib file in your current folder.

You create a bibtex file and upload it to your overleaf folder.
