Spotlight returns no search hits for my DropBox on MacBook Pro with M3 Max chip

Using DropBox for maybe 10 years, so not a newbie by any stretch of the imagination.  New MacBook Pro M3 Max.  Searchlight returns no results for my DropBox.   Ideas?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, AD71.

 

I assume that you're using the Dropbox for macOS on File Provider update, with the Dropbox folder in ~/Library/CloudStorage, right?

 

If you hover over your Dropbox icon, what's the version and sync status of the app?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.
