I just received my new MacBook Pro and the files were not sync'ing. Then I realized that DropBox was setup for online sync'ing to save space. I turned that off but it still wouldn't sync. Tried quitting and reopening DropBox but no joy.

You can see the little cloud emblem to tell you it's cloud storage and that will change to a checkmark.
