[Android Question]

What is Dropbox and how do I use it?

Hi, Dropbox is cloud storage. A starting point for you would be the Dropbox tour at :-
https://www.dropbox.com/tour/0

There is a 'Get Started' link or you can download the app from Playstore :-

The advantage of dropbox is that it is available across multiple accounts and devices. You may have a number of google accounts each with their own Drive storage, or devices using different operating systems, one Dropbox account can be shared between all the different accounts and serve as a "shared " storage. This is particularly useful if you use chromebooks where google accounts are otherwise separate.
