If you have Dropbox installed on your computer then you can look in the local Dropbox folder on your computer. The only items not shown in the local folder would be any Backups or folders you've removed using Selective Sync. You can also see everything in your account by signing in to the Dropbox website.

 

As for what Dropbox syncs, it will only sync the items that you place in your local Dropbox folder. Additional, if you've used the Backup feature, it will back up any key folders (Desktop, Documents, etc.) or external drives that you've selected. It cannot sync or backup files without being told
