Thanks for your screenshots, graepers!
It looks like the Dropbox folder in the first screenshot is your actual Dropbox folder; it has the Dropbox icon and all the files in the folder has sync icons on them.
The folder in the second screenshot that has the date in the name as well, looks like some sort of backup or copy; do these folders have exactly the same files in them?
The second folder won't be syncing to your account, you should be able to confirm this, by dropping a test file into both Dropbox folders.
The first one should sync the test file to your account online.
