Hey TOFU, thanks for clarifying!
Do you have access to your PC, to check if the app is updated, and syncing properly? Also, how did you add the files? Did you copy them in your Dropbox folder when doing so?
Feel free to let me know the app's syncing status, and version by hovering over the little Dropbox icon, on your task bar and we'll take it from there.

Thank you for your help this far. I live in Japan so I assume we have a big time difference. I go to this little restaurant, pay about $4 for the all you can drink lousy coffee and use their wifi for 3 hours. I'm cut off so I'll see what I can do with what you have given me so far and pray that you're there tomorrow. Thank you thank you

I'm really sorry it took so long to get back to you, kind of a crazy day. I'm trying to follow your advice but I get stuck in the first paragraph.

Yes, I have access to my pc. That's as far as I can get. Wish you'd fly over and fix it in about 5 minutes. I'd take you out for sushi. (I'd have to sell my car to do it).

Hi Megan,
Before we go much further I saw something while I was fooling around with it on my PC. (I'm using the app). I'm out of space on Dropbox. Could that be what's causing all my troubles?
Now I'm really in trouble. Now on my phone Dropbox wants me to pay 1600 yen a month which I certainly can't do. I'm stuck at that screen. I don't understand this cloud thing at all. I thought that all of my photos were out there floating in space and all I had to do was connect with the cloud and I could see them. They're not on my hard disc taking up space, right?
Sorry about all this.
