From what I have read about Dropbox ( I am using it quite a lot ), while it will sync files and folders on a PC, because of various limitations, it does not sync all files to your mobile devices.
The folders and files you see when you open the Dropbox app are a kind of virtual copy of the folders and files existing on the Dropbox site. Only the files with a green checkmark actually exit on the Vox.
When you use a file manager to browse your Vox's file system these are the files you will see.
If you edit/change the file on your PC or the Dropbox site, the next time you start the dropbox app or use the refresh, the green checkmark will disappear and the file date will update so you know that you need to download the new version of the file.
If you edit the file on your Vox while it is still in the Dropbox folder it will be update to the Dropbox site and your PC's
A LONG PRESS on a file brings up a menu that lets you do the following:
OPEN a file. The file is temporarily(I believe) downloaded by whatever app you select.
DOWNLOAD a file. This actually downloads the file to the Dropbox folder on your Vox in the exact path in which it exists on Dropbox in the cloud.
SHARE... Haven't used this but it is so you can share this file with someone else.
DELETE a file. This deletes the file from Dropbox on the Vox and in the Cloud as well as any PC's synced to Dropbox.
Think of it this way.
Drop box syncs the files in the Dropbox folder on the Vox up to the site and your PCs. It only syncs files down from the site to your Vox when you tell it to.
