Do you have auto-revert enabled for that file? At the top of a
dropbox-shared Org file I have this:

# -*- coding: utf-8; eval: (auto-revert-mode 1); -*-

I still find it a bit buggy, and also have this code snippet which I
execute whenever I begin editing in that Org file. I also try to
remember to save it when done.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results none
(revert-buffer nil t)
#+END_SRC

  -k.
