This sort of works for me. However, if you then kill the Keepassdroid app and the dropbox app, it goes back to a failing state until you toggle again.

I've also got this problem, and yeah, exact same experience with the 'Make available offline' suggested workaround. For me the problem is compounded by the fact I'm still running Android 5, and Dropbox recently dropped support for Android < 6. This means I am locked into the broken 190.2.2 version, thus being excluded from any possible future bug fixes for this problem. It definitely used to work fine when launching from Dropbox, so it's 100% the app that's faulty.
For me the simple workaround is not to open Dropbox in order to open my .kdbx file. Instead, open Keepassdroid and (with my settings) it'll remember the .kdbx's filepath to open. It always seems to open an up-to-date copy of the .kdbx file, despite not opening it from the Dropbox app.
