I want to sync my Dropbox files to my internal storage on Android
Synchronization does not work on Android. I download files to a folder that is only accessible from Dropbox itself. It is completely useless. I need to synchronize files to a folder in the internal storage, just like on Windows! Otherwise, other apps will never be able to access my files.

That's not how the mobile clients work. They don't have a full synchronization like thew Windows client. The app just allows you to view and access the files in your account, allowing you to download them to your device as needed.
There's no way to do a full sync on a mobile client, and the files that are downloaded are not stored in a user-accessible location on the device.
But that way, the app loses half of its value.
For this reason, I suggest making it like on desktop systems.
