Poparad,
If you can't use the option to synchronize the devices to each other over WiFi, then you have two options:
1) Upload your entire library to Dropbox using the sync to folder option, and then any subsequent synchronizations should be very fast. If the initial upload fails though, there is no way to recover after that, so if your library is truly that large, this may not be a great option.
2) Create a library backup on one device, then upload that to Dropbox. On the other device, download the backup file onto the device. You can then use the sync to backup file option to update the device, or if you don't care about replacing the entire library, you could also use the restore library from backup feature.
You cannot just place a backup file in the Dropbox folder and then sync to it. You also can't sync to the folder if the initial upload finished. So that's why it keeps asking you to upload your library when you try to sync to the folder. I'd suggest option #2 based upon the problems you've encountered so far.
