Can I backup my Mac's Pictures, Movies, and Music folders to Dropbox?

Is is possible to add these folders to Dropbox sync or backup. My Desktop and Downloads Folders are in Dropbox>MyMac>Pictures, etc. But it won't let me drag and drop the others.

    Hey kdeemer1​ - thanks for your post in our Community! 

    Can you navigate to the backups tab of the Dropbox desktop app's preferences and let me know if you're able to set this up from there?

    If you could also clarify your computer's exact OS version, I'd appreciate it.

    Thank you!
