As this a shared folder that they renamed? If so, then the renaming doesn't apply to anyone else apart from that user.

When you click the Dropbox icon in the system tray near the clock, what message do you see on the bottom left?

I see the following... no activity and sync record, and your files are updated message in the bottom. In my dropbox account through web browser I can see the folder shared to me, the subfolders and all files.

Are you certain this is the same Dropbox account as the one on the site? The Dropbox desktop application is showing no files having recently been synced, and that it is fully updated.
Could you click the top right icon with MA in it, then Preferences and Account, and let me know if this is the same account as that signed into on the site?

Yes is the same account, I had already done this check by myself a few days ago.
In Preferences - Account it shows that 0.4% of 2GB are used (which is true). If I open dropbox.com by clicking the button circled in green I see all the data in the web browser... if i click the dropbox folder (circled in blue) is empty:
