My MacBook Pro hasn't connected with Dropbox for 3 days, why?

My macbook pro hasn't connected with dropbox for 3 days. There are no green circles or ticks showing it's not connected. When I check my dropbox account it shows that the macbook is linked but hasn't been connected for 3 days. Any idea how to reconnect so that it will synch?

    Is Dropbox actually running on the Mac? Can you see its icon on the status bar?
