Another update: As noted, letting the selective sync panel sit open all night with my laptop set to not sleep got it populated and I was able to start a sync.

The sync did not seem to be populating my Dropbox, but again letting things set all night with sleep disabled, I finally did get everything populated, so now I'm up and running.
