I can't back up files from my external drive to my Dropbox mobile app via the Files app.

I have an external drive (a Samsung Portable SSD T7) and I got Dropbox so that I could have a second backup from that external drive. I connect my external drive to my iPad Pro and then I sync Dropbox from the locations section of the files app. So it is not syncing through the files app.
I looked on the Dropbox app separately and the files I originally synced June 2024 are there but not any recent syncs. I added some files to Dropbox at the end of last year thinking they would always sync and just have not so now there are different files

How, exactly, are you accomplishing that? I know you can access both Dropbox and an external drive through the Files app, but I don't see a way to sync files between the two. I can copy files from one to the other, but there is no sync.
The Dropbox mobile app has never synced files like that (that's not its purpose on mobile), so I'm wondering how you were able to actually sync files to another device on your iPad.
