New feature needed: ability to backup 2nd hard drive in computer using Dropbox Backup

Support verified today that Dropbox Backup will not currently backup a 2nd internal hard drive. Please develop this feature so I can stop using other/competing backup products.

    Currently Dropbox Backup only allows backup of your primary drive and one external drive. However, it does not allow backup of a secondary internal drive. Which thousands of people have. Almost anyone with anything more than a store bought PC has a secondary internal drive for storage or a different OS. Dropbox is the first backup service I've ever seen without this ability. And I wouldn't think adding it would be very difficult. Making their software check for any additional drives or even manually inputting a drive should be very easy on their end.
