You'll need to reinstall the Dropbox desktop application on the remote machine to be certain it's working normally, and then test it by adding a file there to see if it appears on your local computer.

I think a college has pointed me to Preferences section to set the Sync settings. At the moment it appears to be promising. I'll check in later, possibly tomorrow to see how this evenings run goes. Should have several hundred files if successful. Otherwise I'll start from scratch maybe.
Thanks for the assist.
