6. Now fill in your account details and press Next
7. Choose a Plan and click next. (I think you will probably choose the 2GB one since it's free)

Now choose a setup type, I'm choosing "Typical" because I want the default folder location and I want all folders to be synchronized.
9. Now press "Install" to save your preferences.
10. You can now choose to follow the tour or skip the tour, I chose to skip it. Click "Finish" to open your Dropbox folder.
CHAPTER 2. Putting files on Dropbox
1. When you opened your dropbox folder, you will probably have these files in it:
2. Remove the directories and make your own directory structure, I chose for this:
Android (Main Folder)
Apps (Sub Folder)
Games (Sub Folder)
Other
(Sub Folder)
3. Now start filling the directories by drag & dropping files into it.
(You can find 748 Android Apps and 100 Android Games on my main page)
4. When you Drag & Drop files to the Dropbox folder you will notice that it goes very fast.
The files you Drag & Dropped are now in queue for upload (sync), Dropbox will automatically start uploading the files.
When a file is successfully synced you will see a green ball with a white tick in it.
