Files in Mobile Apps Not Syncing

I saved some files into the Dropbox file on my PC. Two hours later they have not shown up in my account at dropbox.com nor in the apps on my iPad and my Android phone. How can I fix this problem?

    Have you checked if Dropbox is running on your PC? 

     

    What does it say if you mouse over its icon on the status bar?

I have a similar issue - I uploaded pictures from my Android phone to my Dropbox on my phone. They show up online but NOT IN my Win 11 computer Dropbox.
