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 ...

Files that I haven't accessed for months are trying to update. There are only three items in the activity list on the laptop, but hundreds on the computer. One of the items that has apparently updated today (on the laptop) is wrong: the activity list says I renamed the file 3 hours ago, but I haven't been near it for weeks. Yes, the computers have the correct dates and times on them!
