External Drive backup dissapeared, still shows in dropbox web but no longer shows on the app (MAC)

So i had an external drive backed up, but upon restarting my computer one of the drives is totally missing, and not showing up in the app, but all the files and backup seem perfectly fine on the web ...

Also, just now after restarting my computer, it said it couldn't find my computer backup (not an external drive), and is now starting that over from 0%, even though, once again on the web it shows that it is 100% backed up... This is definitely not a confidence booster for a backup solution. Is there any way to relink it to the one that i can see backed up on the web? or does it have to go through the process of re-backing everything up to sync the backup? 

 

FYI, I am using an M1 Max macbook pro with OS 13.4 (latest update) and my dropbox app is Version 175.4.5569 (175.4.5569)
