    It sounds like you might be looking at two different Dropbox accounts Realtor Sue 

     

    Are you using the same email address on both of your devices?

Hey Realtor Sue - sorry to jump in here, but if you're using the desktop app, could you clarify its status as shown in your computer's menu bar/system tray?

 

I'm assuming you're able to see the same files if you log into your account through a web  browser - right?

Hi Walter,
I just logged out and logged back in on my laptop.
Www.dropbox.com/home
My files are not there… I’ve checked the trash can that says deleted files and nothing there.
I do however see my files on my cell phone.
