In my early post I gave you ways of mimicking the exact file structure you want for use in Dropbox on your phone because that is what you were directly asking for. However if your concern is quickly and easily finding something on your phone to read then I should have suggested
Calibre Companion as an alternative to crudely navigating any file structure to find what you are looking for on your Android phone.
I have 2112 books on my Android tablet and have only a vague idea of the file structure they are in. I use Calibre Companion to quickly find and launch (using the reader app of my choosing) any book in my library. Much easier than stumbling through a file structure on the small screen device.

P.S.
That is not a badly designed file structure, it is a very well designed data base that is not meant for you to use.

I have to agree. The user interface is one of the worst I have seen so far.

Who the heck are you agreeing with? No one in this entire thread has discussed the merits of the UI. Certainly not the person you quoted. This thread is talking about file structure, book location and alternative software or methods to achieve the OP's goals. We do not need someone coming in and trolling on a completely off topic subject.
If you have anything constructive to say about the UI then start a new thread.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make, but as an old commercial used to state "there's an App for that" in this case Android App
Calibre Companion. I haven't connected my tablet to calibre via a USB cable since I bought it last August.
Any further off topic discussion will have to take place in a new thread.
