After I installed Dropbox on a new computer, I can't see locally all of my content.

I installed Dropbox on a new laptop and most of the files I have in Dropbox do not show up.

Has Dropbox finished Sync'ing? It takes time to do so - you can look at the status bar to see what it is up to. 

If it has, do you see the files at www.dropbox.com/home ?
