I had this issue on Windows 10 and it affected at least two other users that I know of so far (both Windows 11).
I went into the admin console. On the sync settings, I saw a note saying smart sync extension was not installed for our team. I clicked on the install extension button and it took a few times of clicking and reloading (or maybe it just took a while to reflect the change), but it did finally show smart sync options.
Don't have a clue why it randomly went away. But I had my teammates restart their computers and then go to Dropbox settings and turn on "Save hard drive space automatically" and then had them online-only their whole Dropbox folder to reset what was actually on their local system. That seemed to fix it all.
