Backing Up External Hard Drive To Dropbox

I did not copy files or folders from my external hard drive. I simply plugged it into my computer. Dropbox copied its files to the cloud. Now I can not find the folder "External Hard Drive" or any hint on Dropbox as to where it stored my files once they were backed up. How do I find these files in Dropbox? I have no problem finding the files I backed up to Dropbox from my computer.
