Just in case anyone revisits this thread.
On PC I use StreamBoxr to play my music stored in DropBox
For my Android phone, I'm using BoxStream.
There's also CloudStream and others.

I've been using VLC for Android to solve this and it works great.

The file has to be downloaded to the device in Dropbox, but it integrates with Dropbox directly. After installing it, click on the file in Dropbox, and select the VLC app to play the file.
Specifically, this supports playing *in the background*, which some other apps don't support.
