Hey Carlos Fernandes Digitex, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.
I'm afraid this isn't currently possible with the Dropbox application.
Aside from the fact that Windows Servers are not really a supported environment for the Dropbox app, in order for the app to work and sync, the user needs to be logged in to Windows.
I hope this clarifies things, but let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

This is actually how the application works, Carlos Fernandes Digitex, so there's no solution, but I will leave this thread open, in case another user has a similar experience and can offer you some pointers.
If you have any other questions, let us know.
Have a great weekend!
