    The DropBox folder and and child folders are normal Windows folders and any files therein are normal Windows files.

    The DropBox application uses a standard Windows OS feature of being able to request the Windows OS to monitor those folders/files for changes and inform the requesting application (DropBox) of any such changes.

    When needed DropBox uploads the changed files to the DropBox server(s).

    It's the best of both worlds, local files for speed of access, copies of files in the cloud, automatic upload/download to/from the cloud to keep multiple computers in sync. Once setup there is really nothing to manage.
