I found this solution in a forum that works in almost clips, but I had to link media one by one. I'm still looking for a better workflow.
"I have solved the issue. Steps to replicate:
First, give Dropbox and Premiere Full Disk Access in Privacy. Second, open Terminal and type chflags nohidden /Users/<replacewithyourusername>/Library
Then, Premiere can see it. The problem lies with Premieres awful internal file browser being unable to see hidden files and folders. chflags nohidden removes the hidden flag from your user library folder and allows premiere to see it."
This issue it's because drop files are cloud drive files now, not local files.
