Can we have the "Sync Next" option for folders too?
It will make my life so much easier if I could choose what folder should be sync first, or at least have the option to make a file sync next, I dont know why this option disappeared.. Im a photograph...

This does not solve the request. I have large folders already selectively synced, but I want a specific folder to upload before the rest.
For example, yesterday I worked on a video which is uploading now (large files uploading slowly). Today I want to work on a different project which requires me to use a folder full of small pngs, they are in the queue after the large file. I want these pngs to download before the big video uploads, but I don't want to right click on all of the 200+ files and select sync next.

I may have found a hack for now, I've opened all the pngs in preview. It forces Dropbox to download those images first. Folder or multiple file Sync next would be smoother.
