Creating (or Finding) a Dropbox Account

Step 2 in  Learning about Dropbox

A Dropbox Account is what gives you access to your data storage. It consists of your email address and a password (which should not be the same password as your Google account…hopefully you knew that!) You’ll use your account login information in a number of places to set up your devices.

Do you already have a Dropbox account?

There are three answers: Yes, No, and You Don’t Know. Let’s tackle that last one first (since that may be the most obvious answer).

Finding your Gmail address on your Android device

Android devices require a Google account/email address. You’ll want to know this address and make sure it’s the same on all of your devices. On all of your devices, go to:
Settings -> Google (in the Accounts section)
to get to the screen shown below. Note the email address at the top of the screen (obfuscated to protect my privacy).
