There are a few things to check on first in cases like this:

  • Are both devices linked to the same account? E.g., check DBAccount.userId
  • Do you see the change from the first device on the Dropbox web site? Changes go to the Dropbox servers first in order to get propagated to other devices. So, for example, if the device where the change is made is offline, the change can't get sent to the servers or other devices.
  • Are you getting any error messages in the log on either device?
