Files from my home desktop aren't syncing to my work computer or the web

file sharing,

hi I'm new to drop box, I was hoping that files i create & save (in my dropbox account) on my home desktop, could be accessed, updated or added to when I log in to dropbox on my work computer. Unfortunately this doesn't happen - when I do log in from my work pc, not all the files are there & they are not the latest. Any idea where I am going wrong ??

If you're not seeing the files when you sign in to the Dropbox website, then they aren't uploading from your home computer. Is the Dropbox application running on your home computer? Have you checked its sync status?

Make sure the Dropbox application is running (Dropbox icon will be visible in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac)) and that it has finished syncing before you turn off the computer.
