Hi Larwir,
1. I renamed my existing local Dropbox folder (not on the app or on " .com") by simply adding ".1" to each folder name.
2. They immediately appeared on my Dropbox app (menu bar icon)
3. I did not get any message regarding "Can't sync" -- everything seems to work just fine.
4. The renamed folders on my iMac Monterey device then appeared automatically on my Dropbox app; my dropbox.com site; the Dropbox apps on my other devices; and the local folders on my other devices (all connected on a local router). No such follow on actions as you described were required. Quantum entanglement proved!
5. SOLUTION for me: just go into my local Dropbox folder on the device running macOS Monterey and rename each folder by simply adding a ".1" suffix (SIMPLE!). Any suffix should work obviously.
5. Things are humming along at quantum speed.
Device iMac; macOS 12.1 Beta (21C5031d) Dropbox version 135.4.4177 (beta)

Ooops-- I must withdraw my prior conclusion of success. I checked other devices and they all indicated Dropbox folders up to date. However, I added a file to a local Dropbox folder; it appeared in the Dropbox app on that device but did not appear on my other devices -- either in their local folders or apps. All green checks on all devices but files did not sync -- no error messages etc.
Back to the drawing board.
