Uninstall and revert to the old Dropbox version.
Then go to system preference, Spotlight > Privacy and delete and add the relevant folder to index the files again.

Hi Rich !
That should be fine. DropBox usually does not update itself too often to install any and every new Beta release. Most of these problems we are recently facing are due to the Beta versions being trialled for fixing Mac upgrade issues. Till OSX 11 there were no issues. Regular updates did not create any such chaos.
