What are the specific ports used for the Dropbox synchronization?
I'm looking to segregate the traffic on our network by finding the ports used by Dropbox. Does anyone know what they are?

Dropbox executables (installer, app and updates) use port 80 and 443.
Some features use port 17600 and 17603.
Lan Sync use 17500 by default.
Dropbox.com needs to be whitelisted in some firewalls, NAC or IDS devices.
