I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I had a similar issue with 
AirLaunch when Dropbox eliminated their old-style default Public folder. 
AirLaunch could no longer retrieve files using the new method where you 
can share a link from anywhere in DB. But it could still do it if the 
file was in my grandfathered Public folder.

DB allows you to create an old-style Public folder if you don't already 
have one but they hide the information pretty well on their site. If you 
think this may be related to your problem and you don't yet have a 
Public folder, I can try to find the link for you. Once my customers 
created a Public folder and put the files in there, AirLaunch started 
working again.
