Yes, it has to do with your metadata file. The metadata file provides Calibre with a list of all of your books. If there is a metadata.db file in your library folder (the one Calibre is pointed to), and you don't see any books in Calibre, then that file is empty, even if you have books in the folder. To fix this, you need to get all your books into your library folder and get the right metadata.db file in there.
Be careful about starting your laptop, as the "empty" metadata.db file may be newer, and may be written over your good metadata.db file on the laptop. Wait for someone who knows dropbox to help you get the files squared away. It may be a simple matter of waiting for dropbox to finish, or you may have to look for CONFLICT files.
