Ah, I get it now - the link was very helpful, thank you. I also found the setting to show files as zero bytes on the Mac - which was part of the problem - I saw the large file storage numbers and thought the space was being used on my HD. All good - thank you!

are the files showing up in finder? if not wait for dropbox to finish syncing, if you still can not see all your files, try deleting the cash, reinstalling dropbox and then sign back in again, if you don't feel right doing that I understand.
It was nice an clean to use in the past. Why make it so complicated? I just have a basic plan as I only use it to share files between my own devices. I don't have a professional account nor do I need or want one. I don't share files or folders with anyone nor do I need to. I don't want it to sync anything in my desktops hard drive. Why do I need to log into my account from a browser to see all the files?
I can't get files that show up on the Dropbox in the Finder in one computer and not on the next? I use to do this in the past without some selective sync and it went by very smoothly. Right now I have an X attached to the icon on my toolbar so I can't right click it to do so. I want to do it with files and not folders. Why is everything going towards professional users? Why is it to those that want to backup files from their desktop?
