Uploading files using Kaspersky Total security backup

I am using Kaspersky Total Security to backup my files to Dropbox.  After the backup is

complete, dropbox syncs the files back to my computer.  Is there a function for the api

similar to selective sync that will tell dropbox not to sync these files back to my computer?  It is not good to sync them back to the same hard drive.

    No, Dropbox doesn't offer an API for controlling which files get synced to the connected desktop client(s), but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
