Hi Haydenprice21, as Rich stated, foreign sites are hard to access from within China, and this isn't just restricted to Dropbox.
This means that many other apps or services you use won't be able to access the internet from there. There is a possibility that one might work, but that would be up to you to determine which app that was.
Other users on the Community have used a VPN from within China successfully, and even then, there could still be issues with connections with that method.
