I deleted the folder /var/www and created symlink like this:
ln -s /home/user/Dropbox/dev/www/ /var/www
here it is
ls -l /var
lrwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 32 üðр 29 18:34 www -> /home/user/Dropbox/dev/www/
and
ls -l /home/user/Dropbox/dev/
drwxrwx--- 14 user user 4096 üðр 29 18:55 www
after that I added www-data to group user
documentroot for localhost is /var/www/html (/home/user/Dropbox/dev/www/html exists)
and now when I go to localhost I see Forbidden.

Do you haveOptions FollowSymlinksin the appropriate context of your Apache configuration? It is the default value but can be overriden. You should also read your Apache logfiles they will explain why the 403 error code.

The logout/login process @John refers to means restarting apache in this case (systemctl restart apache2.service).

actually its logging out of ubuntu and logging back in to refresh the group permissions .. not sure restarting apache will reinitialize the groups with the added permissions but logging out of the users account and logging back in (or rebooting) will for sure
