I'm not sure how your account sharing is setup:  if you are all using
the same credentials, you will probably run into trouble.  Each Dropbox
account will only get a single 'magic' MobileOrg folder, so if everyone
is sharing a single login, I don't see how it will work.  It would
probably be possible to change MobileOrg to support specifying the
folder in your Dropbox account that it should use, but I have
reservations about that. The way I use the API now, MobileOrg only has
access to its own sandbox/special folder.  There's no way it could
accidentally mess with/expose/etc your other Dropbox files.

The other option is to let each user have their own Dropbox account and
simply share folders from a master account to each person.

Hope this helps,

Richard
