Same problem after Dropbox moved this week my files to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox. Use most recent Mac Ventura version. Safari Versie 16.1 (18614.2.9.1.12).
Don't see any solution yet. Anything coming?

Same problem here. Ventura 13.1; Safari 16.2 (18614.3.7.1.5); Dropbox v163.4.5456.
Static HTML file stored in Dropbox.
Same effect with file as default access or set to "Make available offline"
File _is_ accessible via Chrome 108.0.5359.124, and other apps such as BBEdit.
Interestingly, when I tried to open with Firefox (104.0.2), it requested access to files managed by Dropbox, and then opened the file...using the _old_ link. Firefox appears to be following the newly-created alias into the new CloudStorage directory...and Chrome seems to be able to do that too. Safari will not do this.
I suppose it's also worth noting that Safari _will_ open a copy of the same file located in iCloud Drive.

There doesn't appear to be any movement on this issue. Alternatively, is there a way to move the Dropbox directory out of ~/Library/CloudStorage/, back to "normal space"? I'd like to resume using Dropbox, but the current situation is a showstopper.
