If the computer has been off for a long time, I'd recommend against trying to get it to sync again. Best to uninstall Dropbox (completely) and install again, allowing it to download all of your files from the cloud instead of syncing with an already-existing out-of-date copy of your Dropbox folder. It's just safer this way.

 

Perform an advanced reinstall, being sure to delete or rename the main Dropbox folder (the one with your files) before installing again.

Thanks ... I have noted ... surprised you suggest a total removal of DB ... have permanently saved your email.
