Have you tried marking it as offline to see if a green mark appears on the file?

I'm not the OP but I've had CONSTANT problems with sync icons not showing up. I also haven't seen them since Ventura (and before I had issues). Yes, I've tried all the things like reinstalling the desktop client, checking online/offline. All that works because I can see the file size go to zero when I mark it offline. However, NO sync icons. It's incredibly frustrating. I've got over 7TB of data in Dropbox and can't tell where any of it is.

Hey Archeowebby, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please clarify your device's exact OS version and the status and version of the desktop app as shown in your menu bar at the moment?
Have you tried reindexing Spotlight since you first noticed this by the way?
If you're running any 3rd party apps that are monitoring your files somehow, you might be interested in this conversation as well.
In any case, please keep us posted!
