Same problem here, I have a text file shared between my Linux PC and my Android mobile.
It works since many years but few days ago it stopped working.
Syncing from Android to PC works well, but, from PC to Android,  it doesn't work anymore.
My workaround is to clear the cache in the settings of the Android app.
I've to do it each time I want to synchronize my file from PC to Android.
I tried a full reinstallation of Dropbox on my mobile, nothing changes.
