This doesn't require "dropbox". It is in fact a special case of  "the 
hard drive in my computer died; how do I restore my gnucash data from 
the latest backup copy" << you SHOULD be making regular backups -- 
remember, it's not if a computer will die but when>>

In other words, the question you perhaps should have made:
1) How do I make backup copies of my gnucash data? <<what do I need to 
copy>>
2) How do I restore my gnucash data from backup?

THEN your actual question should have the obvious answer -- make a 
backup of the gnucash data on your old machine and restore that to your 
new one.
