No Spotlight results for folders on Dropbox with Sequoia

Since I upgraded to Sequoia 15.1 on my Mac, folders and documents on Dropbox are no longer shown. What can I do?

Just upgraded to Sequoia and I have the same issue.  When I sign into Dropbox in a browser all my files are there, but the finder will no longer show them in search.  I got a message popup when my Mac restarted after installation - that said something about Dropbox not being compatible and might not work and that the developers needed to update it.  But I can't remember the exact message and dismissed it as a warning... not as it not being able to search anymore!

    I have the same issue. I have Sequoia 15.1.1 and Dropbox 213.4.4597. When I search, Finder does not show files in Dropbox, but when I look online at Dropbox, the files are there. Has anyone solved this issue??

      Hey Beth122, thanks for letting us know.

      If you navigate to those files within the Dropbox folder in your Finder, are you able to see them?
