Hi,
The folder I am syncing locally contains ~4700 files, well below the soft limit of the desktop app, and yes, I do use selective sync for my folders.

Please advise on what I can do to get it working on my new machine.
Thanks

Hey sharsprague, I hope it's OK to jump in here.
Can you please clarify when this issue started exactly on your device? Did you install the Dropbox update for MacOS perhaps, right before this occurred?

This is a brand new computer and migrated from the old machine using Mac OSX Migration Assistant app. DB continues to work just fine on the original machine, but has yet to work on the new M2 Macbook Air (described above). Did not install the update, but when I as unable to use DB, I did re-install as described above.
