The combination of Calibre's webserver and Dropbox is formidable! I'm running the webserver on an up-to-date Ubuntu box that is up 24x7 anyway, so it's a natural to serve up my books. However, I'm away from home a lot (a lot!) and I often add books to my library while I'm on the road, using my laptop. They, of course, are then immediately available on all my devices via Dropbox. However, the Calibre Library app on my phone and tablet doesn't benefit because the Calibre running at home doesn't know the database has changed. Once I get home, I just close and restart Calibre and all is good.

Has anybody discovered a method or work-around to get a remote Calibre webserver to re-sync?
Have you tried using the new auto add folder?
Remember, to place a COPY into the folder if you want a backup of the original as once added, the contents of the folder is purged
