New Dropbox error message

"It looks like you are sharing your Yojimbo database via Dropbox. Your Yojimbo data can be safely used by only one application at a time. Before choosing ”Continue”, verify that no other application is using your Yojimbo data."

If you forgot to close yojimbo on one of your computers that is
sharing the YJ file via dropbox, you should not open that file from
another system that is also getting the file via dropbox.
It is possible to erroneously receive the message you are seeing ( I
believe it happens when YJ crashes, or a system loses power). But if
you aren't sure, I wouldn't take the chance of corrupting your YJ
database.
If the message turns out to be in error, barebones support can provide
a file (script?) that fixes it.

It means you should not proceed unless you are certain the data is not in
use anywhere else.
In this case, since the database is already open (in use) by Yojimbo on
your other machine, you should quit Yojimbo on that machine first.

It is not safe to do so, thus the warning.
