Right-click option to sync any computer folder to my account, without moving it inside Dropbox.

Adding some additional context to help with understanding this feature request: Such functionality would typically address two user scenarios:
- Being able to sync any folder on your computer to a location of your choice in your Dropbox account, without having to move it to your local Dropbox folder. That folder would appear in your online Dropbox account and by default sync to the Dropbox folder on your other devices.
- Choosing where to locally sync a specific folder from your Dropbox account (instead of the default of syncing it to the local Dropbox folder)
For those interested in these workflows, tools like Boxifier currently provide this functionality as an add-on to Dropbox.
Hope this helps,
