That was in 2012. Old news.
Also, Dropbox was using decent password storage methods so the risk was limited.
The problem is that people re-use the same passwords and variants of the same over and over again. If a given system doesn't force password changes, and most don't, it's very likely that the majority of those passwords stolen in 2012 are still being used by the same people, for their social media accounts, for their bank accounts, etc.
If you are a Dropbox user and using the same password for other things, you need to change ALL your passwords.
