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.  I have dropbox on four computers; everything syncs fine except on one laptop: the laptop will update files ...

There is definitely something different happening. A lot of the files that had cloud icons now have blue update icons. There are no red-x icons at the moment. The sync message says 2,009 files now, but sitll 62MB. I have tried previously moving folders and files out of the dropbox for 24 hours and putting them back, but they still don't sync.
