Hi Dkuzla; how are you today?

 

If, on one hand, you're using the website to upload files, you should be getting a message to inform you about the successful upload on your screen. 

 

If, on the other hand, you're using the desktop app and copying or moving files into your Dropbox folder, you should check its status as shown within your computer's system tray/menu bar. Once you're fully synced, it should show 'Up to date'.

 

Let me know if this helps!
