    I am having a similar issue. All of a sudden  my selective sync window on Mac is not displaying all of the online dropbox folders. Dropbox > Preferences > Sync > Select Folders

     

    Dropbox.com shows proper updating so Dropbox is correctly working back and forth with my Mac. The iPhone app shows correct updating of my files. The issue is with the missing folders in the Mac "selective sync" window. I've reinstalled, unlinked, relinked, indexed all files, synched again etc. "Your files are up to date". As soon as I make a change or add a new file to a folder it isn't reflected in the selective sync window (but it does show up properly on dropbox.com) so I cannot sync and remove it from my computer. Recently updated my Mac OS to 14.4

     

    I've spent hours troubleshooting and can't find a solution. This is greatly impacting my workflow and I'm close to switching to another cloud based system.
