Dropbox on a new computer opening old versions of files

I just got a new Macbook Air. I am trying to set it up so that I can use Scrivener on both the new computer and my old MacBook Pro. Currently, all of my Scrivener files live on Dropbox and I’ve been using it that way for years. I’ve downloaded Scrivener and Dropbox on my new computer. But when I open a Scrivener project from Dropbox on my new computer, it is an old version. I am ensuring that Scrivener is closed on the old computer and that files are syncing to Dropbox. Help!

Ensure you are using the same Dropbox account everywhere, and that you allowed sync to complete on all devices. Also, there may be some FAQ’s on Dropbox’s web site that may help as this appears to be a Dropbox issue, not Scrivener.
