I want to work on a Microsoft Access file on Dropbox and have the changes automatically saved back to Dropbox. My only option appears to be to download the file, modify the data then upload it again. Is there a simpler process?

It depends, how are you opening the file? If you install Dropbox on your machine it will create a folder structure and you can open and access the files there and it'll auto save to others however you MUST MUST MUST make sure that nobody else has it open or editing it while you do or you'll get conflicted copies (i.e. 2 versions of the file with different data sets in)
