This is almost certainly because Indesign uses links specific to each device and machine (i.e. they are in \Users\Documents\Dropbox and 'users' can be different depending upon the persons name).

 

You need to make sure everybody has an identical folder structure for this to work

So how do you link a photo in dropbox to an indesign file?
