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?

    Hey Mikeyluv and JoostvG, thanks for letting us know about this.

    Which Dropbox version are you using?

    Is your Dropbox folder located in ~/Library/CloudStorage?

    Search function on Mac Sequoia 15.1 immediately defaults to "This Mac", finds the folder on Dropbox in the thread, but doesn't actually search the Dropbox heading without leaving the Dropbox search heading.

    Hi aroberts, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you clarify exactly what you're experiencing on your machine when attempting to search? Are you doing the search from within the Dropbox folder in Finder?

     

    Do you have the Dropbox Backup feature enabled?

     

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
