I'll say it one more time and then tap out before i get shot.
If you would like certain folders/files stored inside your dropbox folder (where ever that may be) you can right click on it and select 'don't sync to dropbox'. the files will no longer be synced, no copies will be kept, you will not see them appear on the web version, nor will anyone else associated with that folder or account be able to see them. They will be gone.
This process can also be easily reversed with right click command, sync to dropbox.
This works on both mac and pc. if you don't have the right click commands there are simple PowerShell and Apple/Unix code that handle the process, see this article here or if you're struggling to get it to work message me.

Really? I doubt that more than I doubt Dropbox will address the feature request.
