So then it is NOT a problem specific to gnucash. It is with ANY data file.

Your problem is with Dropbox. As I understand it, you SHOULD be able to 
use Dropbox to share data between devices the way you intend. To find 
out why not accessible from the second device you need to ask for 
Dropbox help. There might be a DROPBOX step you have missed (telling 
Dropbox "allow this to be shared). Since I am not a Dropbox user, can't 
help you.
