I'm looking for the Dropbox folder on my Phone and I can't find it with my file manager. If I only had access to the find command it would be easier.

which phone? does it have external SD- my DropBox app is downloading stuff to /external_sd/dropbox - I cannot remember if I set that as a option anywhere? – Adrian Feb 24 '11 at 13:23

For what it's worth, mine is located at /sdcard/dropbox – Al Everett Feb 24 '11 at 14:22

Seems to have moved recently from 'sdcard/dropbox' to '/sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch'. Much easier to find... – pelms Mar 5 '12 at 17:28

It should be noted that the Dropbox app doesn't actually sync the files to your phone, it just presents you with a list. Whenever you select a file in the Dropbox app, then it downloads it to your phone. On my Incredible, the dropbox folder is just in the root of the SD card.

Astro File Manager also has a good search function, and has a lot of handy functions connected to file management.
