Hi KGalloway1987,
Despite of Dropbox is sync service, Dropbox mobile applications (including Android' one) don't do this. Such application only lets user access and manipulate files online only (including moving them). Setting some of the files "offline" mean they are cached for access when you don't have network access, so you are going to able always use them (but only use!!). To do something else (including upload back, move, etc.) you need still working net. That's it.
Hope this clarifies matter.
