    Hey vmkirin and bri_guy, I actually moved our thread to this one, since it's about the same issue.

I just tried dragging and dropping my screenshot files.  Hopefully, they are readable on your end.

Actually I'm on Ventura 13.2 with an M1 iMac,  and have updated to have Dropbox under Library/CloudStorage with all files and folders available offline.

 

Finder search cannot find dropbox files when using Dropbox as the search start. If I search "This Mac"  they are all found. Spotlight search finds them all as well. I disconnected my computer from Dropbox, erased the folder and other associated files in Library, and then reconnected and downloaded everything. This did not help.
