has anyone had an issue where. indesign is not linking files on a shared dropbox?
This is almost certainly because Indesign uses links specific to each device and machine (i.e. they are in \Users\Documents\Dropbox and 'users' can be different depending upon the persons name).
You need to make sure everybody has an identical folder structure for this to work

so we found out that my user name is changing to someone else when it shouldn't be:
Everybody will have a different folder structure because their usernames will be different - based upon what they set their Mac up as initially.
It will work for you as you are the one who made the file
