File app no longer shows files & folders under Dropbox

I bought an Asus Flip a week ago. File System for Dropbox was one of the first apps I installed on it. I use Dropbox constantly on PC's and Android devices, and this app makes the Chromebook very useful for me.
However, the app has stopped working properly. I'm still able to mount Dropbox, but in the File app, I only get the Dropbox line (followed by my name in parentheses). No files or folders show up under Dropbox, and the little triangle to the left of it is missing.
I know that Dropbox is being mounted, because when I open the Text app, create a file, and click Save As, the popup window goes to the Dropbox folder where I last saved a text file. There I can see the files in the folder, and if I click on the folders above, I can see each file and folder they contain.
But in the File app, no such luck. It looks like there is nothing at all in Dropbox. I can click on Create Folder, and create a folder, but it doesn't show up in the File app. (It does show up in Dropbox on other machines, though, so a folder does get created.)
I've rebooted numerous times, and removed the most recently installed apps (Kami and PDF Mergy), closed all apps, and rebooted again. Still no joy. :(
How can I fix this? I love my Chromebook, but without proper access to Dropbox, its usefulness to me plummets. I hope you can help me!
Thank you!
Finally found a solution. Uninstalled File System for Dropbox extension, rebooted the Chromebook, and reinstalled the extension. Now the files are back! Yay!!
