Cannot get DWL to lock drawings

I am having a problem with Autocad12 I am using at a friends office: we both can open, edit, and save the same drawing. This is a real problem as you can imagine. We are running Windows 7 and are using DROPBOX for file storage. DWL are being created but for some reason they are not being used. On the otherhand if I try to open a file I created I do actually get locked out - just not from the other computer.

 

Just did a test - when I log in directly to the hard drive instead of the network it locks me out if I attempt to load it. If I login through DROPBOX it does not.

 

Anyone have any ideas how I can have autocad recognize the lock files in DROPBOX folders? Help is much appreciated.
