Our old computer crashed and the one we're using now is trying to sync old files.
Our computer at work crashed unexpectedly. My Dropbox account which I use for work has 2 shared folders. We are now up and running on a back up computer that I had used Dropbox on previously (4 years...
Not really. It does show the newest stuff that was saved but it also shows files that we had moved out of DB or deleted over the past 4 years.

Hey awtravis77, if the most recent versions of your files appear in your account on dropbox.com, we're on the right path.
What you could do, is disconnect the backup computer from your account settings here.
This will log you out of the Dropbox desktop app on that computer, which makes it safe for you to delete the old Dropbox folder there.
You can then update the Dropbox app and sign in to your account again.
Keep in mind, though, that this will sync whatever files you have in your account on dropbox.com.
