Red exclamation marks in Finder after macOS update

Suddenly, Red Exclamation Mark Circles have appeared in Finder


So after an macos update i had red exclamation marks in every folder on my mac even those non-associated with dropbox or Pcloud.


I resolved it this way: Uninstalled pcloud using appcleaner and then rebooted and then reinstalled pcloud.


I hope this helps

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.8
