If you're not seeing the files when you sign in to the Dropbox website, then they aren't uploading from your home computer. Is the Dropbox application running on your home computer? Have you checked its sync status?

 

Make sure the Dropbox application is running (Dropbox icon will be visible in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac)) and that it has finished syncing before you turn off the computer.
