Thanks for your reply. That's really not an ideal workflow for a company of our size.

Dropbox was supposed to take over from our current workflow of using physical servers where all files are stored in just one place and there's no copying and pasting locally or turning apps on and off.

Could this thread also be turned back to 'Unsolved' as none of my issues mentioned are currently fixed.

Thanks for the follow up KeyBlue  - I've gone aheead and un-accepted the solution on this thread and I'll leave it up to you moving forward. 

Now, as I'd like to look into your current setup to provide further assistance on this, may I reach out via email to your Dropbox associated address so we can work on this together? 

Let me know here and we'll take it from there. Thank you.
