How do I include the windows pictures folder in Dropbox?

I notice that the Windows Pictures folder is not in the dropbox folder.  And I just move it there?    I am worried about doing so because I remember the debacle wit including the download folder.  ...

    Hi JR4000, how are you today?

     

    How exactly did you move the Pictures folder, into your Dropbox folder? 

     

    When you visit your app's preferences, and then your Backups tab, do you see the option to sync your Pictures to Dropbox?

     

    Keep me posted!
