After mostly just trial and error, I was able to see the Dropbox on both computers and then was able to put the shortcut links in the sidebar.

It sounds like the shortcut links arent quite working. You should be using it via the sidebar menu options.
The 'apps' folder is not really intended to be interacted with as it is used to keep programs that are running things within Dropbox.
So, you probably need to use Obsidian to move its database to another location.
