What you are doing should work fine. The only thing you're doing wrong is waiting. You need to wait for all of the books to sync from your computer to the cloud before trying to find them on your device.

I have my library in dropbox but I don't use it to access books on my android tablet. One thing to be aware of is the fact that calibre does not update the metadata (cover, title, series, author etc...) until the book is exported from calibre using the Save to disk, Send to device, email, or content server. This means the books you will be accessing may not have the exact same metadata within the book as you see in the calibre GUI.

If having the metadata in the books reflect what is in the GUI is important to you then you might consider using the Modify Epub plugin to embed the metadata into all of your books.

On my Android tablet I use Calibre Companion to manage my ebooks and launch the ebook using the reading app of my choice.
