Dropbox just uploads/downloads whatever data it is given, and it doesn't do anything special for .sqlite files.

Is it right that when the response arrives the download is completed?

    Yes, the download is complete when the response fires.

    If the uploaded version is correct, please check the downloaded copy directly to see if it has the expected data.
