Are you signing in to the same account both in the app at home, and in the browser at work? Make sure you're using the same email address when signing in. Also, make sure the Dropbox app is running on your home computer. If it's not running or experiencing a problem, your files won't sync. If it's running, you'll see a Dropbox icon in your system tray (near the clock). Hover your cursor over this icon to check its status.
than kyou, yes, same login acvcount as i only have me as the account holder/user.
the home pc, in the windows explorer, in the dropbox folder i see all the files... but if i login to the web dropbox, i dont see them all, even if i login to the dropbox.com on the same pc! but yet, in the explorer folder/subfolder i see all the files.

The Dropbox folder on your computer is just a folder like any other. It doesn't do anything special. It's the application that is responsible for syncing. If you're not seeing the application in your system tray, then it's not running and Dropbox won't be able to sync.
Try launching the Dropbox application from your Start menu. If that doesn't work or you can't find the app on your Start menu, I'd reinstall. It would be a good idea to make a backup copy of any files or folders that you're not seeing on the Dropbox website, before you reinstall, just in case.
also, as far as syncing... these are dropbox 'only' folders, that i have on the dropbox... i do have a few local pc folder that are 'backed up/sync'd to the dropbox... but its that dropbox only folder that i dont see all the files.
