One other thing I notice is that the desktop with the exact same DB install (215.4.7202) on both machines show up differently in finder.  On the desktop in a finder window there is a dropbox symbol and drop down action list, while this does not appear on the laptop (both pictured below, laptop first).  I have restarted numerous times and stopped all other extensions from loading, leaving only Dropbox.  But this icon does not appear on the laptop.  On the desktop, the dropbox icon is to the right of the action button.
