Shared folder not visible to shared user
The office where I work has a Dropbox business account with 2TB of storage available. That account is under the office manager's name. Folders in her account are shared to my personal account.

In that case, could you check if this folder is listed in your sharing tab to add it back to your account copwriter?
Also, can you double check your selective sync settings for the folder in the app's preferences while logged into your personal account?
While we're at it, could you maybe navigate to your events page and try to restore the folder from there?

Dropbox Community ModeratorIs it possible that the folder was moved to a folder not syncing to your machine due to selective sync?
If there isn't any personal info in the folder names, could you attach a screenshot showing the folder on the site (including the parent folder), and the location as it appears in Explorer?

The folder "patient records" was unintentionally moved to a subfolder of "Patient Tracking." I moved it back where it was. That's when it couldn't be viewed in File Explorer. "Patient tracking" is also a shared folder. It still appears in File Explorer.

Note that "patient tracking" shows up, while "patient records" doesn't.
Here is a shot of the folder as it appears on the Dropbox website. I had to redact some names for this one:
