Local indexing of Dropbox files on Mac

I have recently updated to version 170.4.5895 on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 on Apple MacBook with M1 chip set. Indexing of Dropbox files stored locally on the Mac seems to be absent now. I can search...

    Apparently MacOS Ventura 13.3 will fix this when it finds its way onto my computer. 

     

    On my other (somewhat older) MacBook running macOS Monterey 12.6.4 it has been indicating that it is Indexing the same number of files for a couple of days now. 

    I shall simply wait and see if an update will resolve issues there too sometime.
