How Do I Only Sync One File Into Dropbox?
When I downloaded dropbox I noticed it began to sync everything from my computer to dropbox. I am not interested in that. I only want to sync one folder. Is this possible? And no, I am not referring to selective syncing where everything gets synced to drobox and I decide what gets placed on my harddrive. I am talking about only being able to sync one folder from my computer. Also, why is it everytime I open the app, it wants to start syncing and I have to pause everytime?

Hi mattaaronhayes, thanks for messaging the Community!
Anything that is in the Dropbox folder is synced to the site.
If you only want one folder to sync to Dropbox, then you'll need to move that folder into the Dropbox folder, and move all other folders out of the Dropbox folder.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
