The error here (arguably) is that they're just not refreshing when there is a server update. Maybe they're "smart enough" to download the file because it's only being opened for Read access - they know they don't need to sync it from the device back to the server because it can't be updated. I don't see anything in DropBox settings that allows it to force a re-sync with scratch files in the device. Because the path is, I'm inclined to thing DropBox is doing this. I'm guessing one product or the other is copying the file purely as a matter of avoiding too much network chatter and thus cost to the device owner. If it were operating like other FUSE implementations, when KeePass did the Open it would open the remote DropBox instance with no understanding that it's not opening a local instance. I don't know if the issue is with KeePass or DropBox that if we want to access a file that it's copied to the local Android file system first before accessing. DropBox isn't maintaining a mirror with the client file system, it's hosting a single common file. No, I've just verified that DropBox does not automatically refresh the Android file system, and I wouldn't expect it to.
