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.

the dropbox app is indeed running and its states its 'up to date', when i place files in the ddrop box, i can see them from other system while only using the web login interface.. BUT certain folder wont let me see all the files, only a few while on the wb browser version, confusing. and my cell phone sees all the files in all the folders?
i only use 1 user login account.
is there a way to sync on demand specific folders?
