Your DropBox account contains folders taken from your computer and stores music, videos and documents for sharing or synchronizing to linked computers. Rather than have all of your files in one folder, Dropbox allows you to create subfolders within folders to organize your data for easy access and storage. Newly created folders are automatically saved in your account, and are available to all authorized users of your DropBox account.
