This is probably a basic question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

After annotating a PDF with the stylus on my Onyx Boox Note, I can use the Notes -> Export function to export the annotations. It then saves the annotated PDF in a folder which is named /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/ ... etc. This seems to imply it is sending the file back to its original Dropbox folder. But I can't see it anywhere in Dropbox on my laptop.

I can see it on the Note if I browse to that location, but I haven't found a way to get it back to Dropbox or email by "sharing", etc. There seems to be now way to get it onto a laptop without plugging the Note in to the laptop (which has never worked for me on Mac).

Is there anything I need to do to get annotated files to upload back to Dropbox? Thanks!
