One of my Mac devices doesn't sync content from my Dropbox folder online.
This subject line has come up before, but my problem is not caused by filenaming errors.

Hi Megan,
Current syncing status: is 'Syncing 473 files, 173MB. Those numbers change if I update something on another machine.
I don't know what the CloudStorage location is! The 'offline' file is sitting at the toplevel of my user account on each computer (i.e. Hard drive/Users/<username>/Dropbox
I regularly connect to different wi-fi or wired connections. I have use both wifi and wired at work (in a different part of the city), and at home I use three different wifi networks in the house (thick walls) but mainly have it plugged into the wired network with wifi disabled to improve speed as I have gigabit ethernet throughout the house.
The app doesn't work anywhere. I wondered if it was a problem with the OS, so upgraded, but no dice. It must be some weird setting on the laptop that I haven't found, although it seems to be trying to update, it just isn't succeeding. Because this is the machine I carry with me for work it is extremely disabling not to be able to get it to function. I'm having to manually copy things over, and inevitably I forget things I've done while I'm at work and get cross-versioned.
