Are you on OS X and want to access a Dropbox folder on a remote machine? Are you on OS X and want to access a Dropbox folder locally via command line? Do you want to access a Dropbox folder on OS X from a remote machine? Your question isn't clear

If you have Dropbox installed, it behaves like a normal folder so just acd ~/Dropbox(if using the default) would work.

If you have both a company and personal dropbox it can be more complicated because both the space and the parens need to be escaped or quoted. In this case your cd looks more like:
cd /Users/$home-user/Dropbox (Company Name)/
or
cd "/Users/$home-user/Dropbox (Company Name)/"
