I have seen the same issue with Dropbox files that used to show up in the finder not being shown there even though the files actually exist on my Mac. Not sure why the dropdown was removed from the Dropbox preferences window -
New dialog box
Older preferences - with option to open folders in Finder.

I discovered that my MacBook Pro (and my 2021 iMac - both running Monterey) has a default setting where the user's Library folder is not shown - presumably to stop people messing with it!
Open your user Home folder and the click 'Command i' to see the info for it. There you should find an option to "Show Library folder". Select that, and the user Library folder will appear in your user Home folder. That's where you'll find the folder Cloud Storage, containing the (new) Dropbox app.
