Are there any default folders generated upon creating a new Dropbox account?
I have a mishmash of folders in my Dropbox dues to various synced devices and I was trying to track what I may have automatically backed up versus the folders I created. Some of the names are intuitively my own, but others are not so easy to discern.
So... what are the folders that appear when you sign up for a new Dropbox account before you modify any names or upload/sync any files to the cloud?

No. I mean there are no files or folders at all in a newly created account. The Public folder hasn't been used in 12 years (Oct 4, 2012 to be precise).
