Hi there, tlc328, thanks for reaching out to us today!

If I understand correctly, when you initially installed the desktop app on your computer, you chose to sync certain folders to your Dropbox folder and now you wish to sync more.

Let me know if that's what you wanted to do or if I misunderstood your question!
