You will have to work on this file from within your Dropbox Folder Bowmanh23 (meaning that you'll need to have the desktop app running and this file located within your Dropbox folder's structure) - or else the changes you make won't sync back to our servers and therefore to other linked (to your account) computers or even on the machines of other collaborators.
Let me know if this helped please.

Well, I logged out and logged back in and it suddenly worked. Not sure why. However, I am new to Dropbox and want to make sure I understand it thoroughly, so I answered the questions below. I think there are still a few tweaks I need to make.

The file is 6.67 MB. I have used Safari and Chrome.
I can download it locally, but it doesn't save to the online version. It just saves to my Mac. I am new to Dropbox and not sure how to save the downloaded version where it will also save to the shared version online. If I download the file and then save it, won't I have to download a different file every week? I don't want to do that if I don't have to.
As far as what is showing on my menu bar, drop box isn't showing up. When I double click it in the Launchpad, it doesn't open. In my finder bar, however, the folders in the drop box file have green checks by them.
