What is this 'cloud only' icon?

I have a file in my Dropbox folder on my Mac that has a "cloud only" icon next to it (see screenshot). What does it mean? It's not one of the icons mentioned at https://help.dropbox.com/sync/macos-sync-icons. Right-clicking the file does not give any of the standard Dropbox-related options (Share, Send a Copy, Copy Dropbox Link, etc.).

 

I'm running version v168.4.4802 and Ventura 13.2.1 on an M1 Air.

    Can you check if your version is uploading files from the finder correctly? Thats also not working for me right now.

    Yes, uploading is working for me. I just created a file, put it in ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox on my Mac and confirmed that it's visible at dropbox.com.

    bri_guy , how much files do you have in your dropbox right now? I have more than 800K currently and it looks like it has quite some problems handling this amount.
