Sorry I forgot about this question. It turns out, he had added the repository incorrectly. We have everything working now and are finding this to be a FANTASTIC way to use Git for free.

Using this link I have been setting up Dropbox with Git repos for a bit just for fun, but have never had to share them with anyone else. Now I am sharing one and I can’t quite figure out how to get it working as a full git repository for us.
I have shared the Dropbox .git folder with him and he has access to it, and using git checkout /path/to/dropbox/folder he can get the full directory….but any changes he makes are not coming across.
We added a single file to the folder and did git add test.txt and git commit -m 'Test Commit' and git push origin master and it said it pushed the changes. However, on my machine when I do git pull origin master it tells me there are no changes.
If I do git branch -a on my directory I see:
* master
remotes/origin/master
but on his directory we see:
*master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/master
Where did I screw up on this?
