Right-click option to sync any computer folder to my account, without moving it inside Dropbox.
As for me, synchronization of folders via the application is done a little inconveniently and not even clear, and in fact it does not exist..
Let me explain what I mean: I would like to right-click...

With synchronization, everything is simple, you create folder A on your computer than create folder A in the cloud and synchronize these folders, everything that happens in one folder automatically happens in the other, for example, if you deleted a file from folder A on your computer, then the file from folder A in the cloud automatically goes to a hidden folder on the computer, that is, in the future it will remain on the disk, but it can be easily deleted...
Thus, it is no longer in the cloud or on the computer.!!
This principle of synchronization is used by the Mega company.. Everything works great!!

So if you edit a file in Folder A on computer 1 what does it do on Computer 2?
If I have a file as \My Documents\Mark on machine one but it is \My Documents\*My company name\ on machine 2 what happens now? The directories are different. Or, if machine 2 is a Linux or Mac and machine 1 is a Windows PC? How does that then work safely and most importantly 100% of the time.
