Calibre does not detect the new folder. Instead it relies on the metadata.db file having been updated correctly. If you are not seeing the new book that implies the changed metadata.db file has not been replicated locally. That is why it is critical that Calibre is closed on the other machine so that Dropbox can replicate the metadata.db changes.
