On Mac Sequoia, my Finder does not find Dropbox files.
Hi everyone! On my Mac I have a Dropbox folder which is automatically synchronized with my Dropbox online. I move may files from my Mac into that folder. I see the files in my Mac's Dropbox folder...

Thanks, Megan,
From the get info in my Applications folder I see I have version 214.4.5.5217, modified 12-19, 2024.
My Dropbox folder is in Macintosh HD>Users>dfg16>Dropbox
When I search for a file from the Dropbox pulldown menu I find everything fine, and can select "show in finder", but when I search directly in the Finder it does not find any of the files, even though they are on my Mac in the dropbox folder (and they are both local and offline).
My attached image shows it all.
Let me add that it used to work fine, I could always find my files in the Finder, no matter where they were. Maybe it happened after I upgraded to Sequoia.
Thanks!
