The easiest way is to make create a folder in your dropbox folder (or any other folder on your system) and then symlink the wireshark configuration directory to that folder.

You might want to just do this for the profiles folder as some of the items in the normal configuration folder are somewhat system specific. I have the following on my Mac:

sake@MacSake:~/.config/wireshark$ ls -l profiles
lrwxr-xr-x  1 sake  staff  51 Jan 25  2017 profiles -> /Users/sake/Dropbox/sync/.config/wireshark/profiles
sake@MacSake:~/.config/wireshark$

In my sync folder on dropbox I keep a set of things I want to sync between systems, one of which is the wireshark profiles folder.
