I found another folder under a different email and signed into that, and all my files were there. I started backup, and it's working, so I think the problem is solved.

Hi there, medicinewomanRD1, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community and sorry to hear about this.
Is the Dropbox application currently installed on the computer?
If so, can you please hover over the Dropbox icon in your system tray and let me know what that's reporting?
Thanks in advance.

It says the files are up to date and synced, but the only file in there is my resume 2024. It also says Dropbox is up to date.195.4.4995

Thanks for the update, medicinewomanRD1.
If you click on that Dropbox icon and then on the folder icon next to your initials/profile pic, are you taken to the empty Dropbox folder that only has your 2024 resume file?
Also, if you search for "Dropbox" in your file explorer, do you get any other results? A second Dropbox folder perhaps?
