Then when I go to folder, it's unclear how to fix, going to Share as suggested
I just get ...
Could you try these steps to fix the syncing issue, and enable full disk access?

Dropbox StaffHi @yaroslavvb, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Upon some brief research, it appears that this file is generally used in GitHub, or in a Mac application.
Are you compiling files or saving Mac apps in the Dropbox folder itself? Do you have GitHub currently running, or is the Mac running the app from that folder somehow?
This will help me to assist further!
I'm doing neither of these things. When I installed Dropbox, I got a system prompt asking "Do you want to give Dropbox permission to access these files" and I clicked "No" by mistake, so they are getting Permission Denied.
Now I can't figure out how to undo these, and give Dropbox permission again
