I used the most latest version of Dropbox, Alfred, and MacOS. The Dropbox folder is located at "/Users/xxx/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox".
Spotlight can find everything in Dropbox, but Alfred cannot see anything in Dropbox.
I have tried every solution I can find in this forum (e.g., reset to Applications and Home, clean application catch, rebuild macOS Metadata). None of those worked.
I tried the "File search troubleshooting" to find a file in Dropbox. Below are the error reports. How can I solve the problem? The only reason I use Alfred is the searching function and I put all my files into Dropbox.
