I use DropBox but ONLY for backup. If you are switching between your laptop and desktop and DropBox is your only file source I believe you are looking for trouble.
If you use a desktop for your primary research then make a copy of your file to a media card and install it on your laptop. Then, when you are taking your laptop travelling, you have the latest data. Use a media card for backup while you are away. If you have made any changes to the file (while away) then copy the laptop file back to the desktop once you get home and everything will be up to date. Please be aware of syncing cloud based data, especially if this is your main file source. The cloud based data is NOT a multiuser program. I would strongly recommend using it only for backup.

I don't have any experience with the Media filee. They take too much room. I just save the file to Dropbox and then retrieve it in Legacy on the Laptop, like normal. I don't know about the other services because I don't use them.
