Hey Paulo Martins, sorry to jump in here!
In order to accomplish this, you'll need to allow those folders to sync to the other computers at first, but once that's done, you can go through your selective sync settings and remove them.
This is a computer specific setting, so it needs to be changed on each computer individually.
That way, they'll be removed from the computers in question and you'll be able to access them only from dropbox.com.
I hope this helps!
