A little update...
A few days ago I was contacted by Dropbox support. They suggested the following relatively simple solution which fixed the syncing issue on my Macbook :
1) Right-click the Dropbox icon in the system tray, or menu bar, by the clock.
2) Click on your profile picture or initials to the right of the search bar, and select "Preferences".
3) Select the Account tab.
4) Click the "Sign Out" button in the Account tab.
5) Your Dropbox will then prompt you to re-enter your account information.After it finished syncing it did not show all the folders that are in my Dropbox. But after adding the missing folders to the “selective sync” in my preferences, these showed up as well.
So Dropbox is working again on my Macbook.
Maybe this will help others that are running into a similar issue.

Dropbox is still indexing after all this time, so it would be nice if you could crack this nut.
