You can certainly create and name new folders on the phone and place your files in those, or you could transfer folders from your pc to the phone with activesync. But once you click to install the cab files, you can't then choose the path to install to your folders, it'll only let you select to install to internal storage or device. Then it will install to the program files folder in either 'Internal Storage' or 'My Device.' Having said that, there might be some app or tweak around that allows you to do it.
ya,got any app can do that?programe too many icon,need to arrange ...in folder
TitaniumBackup app seems to be Dropbox aware in that it has a button to 'Sync to Dropbox now!' But I am having a terrible time making them work together.
I had a TitaniumBackup folder in the phone from when made before flashing Cog 4.3. I just did another TitaniumBackup to capture all the apps I have added and commanded the 'Sync to Dropbox now!', but I cannot decipher exactly what it did, and where things are stored.
Now,
-my online Dropbox TitaniumBackup folder has some files dated when first backup was made and some from just now.
-same when the Dropbox app is opened on the phone. The TitaniumBackup folder is in the app along with Contacts, Photos, and Public folders.
-same with Dropbox folder on the PC
(I deleted this folder because of the mixed 'versions' of files in it--believing that that deletion would propagate to the phone and to the online store. It didn't. They are still there)
-when I use Root Explorer and look for these files, there is a TitaniumBackup folder in /sdcard/dropbox, and Public is also there, but not Contacts and Photos folders!!! (Why not? they show inside the dropbox app.) This folder also has the mixed dates on the files inside it.
So, I guess my original backup has been destroyed by most of the files being being overwritten (but I do have a copy I saved on an external drive off the home PC).
I just now do not have a feel at all for where the files are created, and where they are copied to if you use the standard "process" ...
When you run TitaniumBackup, where does it put the folder it makes?
When you tell TitaniumBackup to 'Sync to Dropbox now!', what folder (location) does it sync from and to where?
Finally, if you have Dropbox on phone, PC, and the online account, are changes in any of the three locations propagated and to where--the other two? To online only? I ask because the folder deletion on the PC did not get propagated anywhere.
Finally, am I to conclude that your current TitaniumBackup folder should be deleted before you run TitaniumBackup again?
1. when you run a backup the backups are stored in a folder called /sdcard/titaniumbackup
2. syncing to dropbox will only UPLOAD to your dropbox, and not replicate changes BACK to your phone
3. changes all populate through all devices, what you see in /sdcard/dropbox/ are files that you have accessed from your phone and are a local copy, not necessarily a folder that is also replicating to dropbox (from my understanding of using it. i have 30% of 5gb eaten up in dropbox and that folder only contains items that i have opened/uploaded on my phone)
4. NO! you do not need to delete the titaniumbackup folder located in /sdcard/ you can keep appending to it with your sub sequential backups. you just need to understand how to do the batch backups and how to clear out old items that you no longer want in your backup folder (this can be done within the titanium backup app)

Thanks; that helps a lot.
On 4, though, I probably want my backups to contain "what the phone looks like right now.' So, I will normally just want to do all apps + data. That is what I did this time, and it seemed to merge the two rather than replace it. That's why I concluded I needed to delete the old backup off the phone, after saving a copy of it somewhere. That brought up the uncertainty then of how the Dropbox synced copies would react.
Wait, wait, wait! I don't understand this...
I downloaded a zip I want to flash to my PC.
I put it into Dropbox folder on PC.
I went into Dropbox app on the phone, the file showed there, press it and it downloads. So far, all is great.
I start ROM Manager to move the file from Dropbox to /sdcard so I can reboot to CWM and flash it.
The zip is not in /sdcard/dropbox !!! But it SHOWS when I open the Dropbox app. What the?
Where is the downloaded zip in the file structure so I can move it to /sdcard?
And arghhhh. Why is this always so hard.
Wtf?
Plug in the phone to your computer and copy the file you want.
You're doing it wrong

Use Dropbox for file syncing, not flashing
I use Dropbox to keep a copy of my backup (created by TiBu). I agree that copying the rom file directly to your computer is far easier than introducing Dropbox.
OK, y'all do it a different way. Mine is wrong because it is different from how you do it. Thanks.
That would still leave my question unanswered...where did Dropbox store the file...why was it not in /sdcard/dropbox?
But later I found it; for some reason, some of dropbox files are where I expected, but THAT download was stored in /external_sd/dropbox for some reason. It is unclear how Dropbox chooses where to put stuff it syncs down.
So I was able to move the file to /sdcard and flash it easily.
hi,
is there some way to make applications use a user defined folder for their (temporary) files?
I'm using cynanogen mod 7 and in my sdcard folder i have a lot folders created by applications i've installed. but since i never need these folders it would be great if they'd be in a subdirectory (like sdcard/appFiles/dropbox)
right now i have directories called gameloft, dropbox, ezPDFReader, tapatalkxda_download, etc.
they clutter my sdcard folder and make it less nice to look at.
Can someone find the folder that houses the folders data/com.dropbox.android. I created a folder on my device and when naming it, it also renamed an important folder. Now my thumbnails wont load for dropbox and a few other things were moved. like com.google.android.youtube. Important things. Can some find the folder that those are suppose to be in? Weird how it let me rename it. I try renaming it now and it errors. So im just gonna copy all the files in there and move the to the new CORRECT folder. Please and thank you.
99% of the com.anything folders are located in Android/Data/, so in your case, it would be Android/Data/com.dropbox.android
hi
