I've been having this same issue for months. Files added locally won't sync and I get the "the application dropbox could not be found" message in Finder. I have to quit and restart Dropbox to get things working, but that fix doesn't persist. I'm on Sequoia 15.6.1. Dropbox version 237.4.5655.

    Hey dhershdb, have you also tried reinstalling the Dropbox app on your end? 

    Did you only start facing this issue after upgrading to macOS Sequoia?
