Allow Dropbox Backup to backup any folder on your computer, or from other drives

Currently only files in the C:\Users path can be backed up. Please allow files in other drives and folders to be backed up.

    How about having an option to add a path to a folder by text and it not be part of the graphic folder structure gui? 
    I like many audio engineers, music producers, artists:
    my library>audio>plugins>preset folder is 4-5 gigabytes and growing.

    Dropbox would fill up with cell phone photos and posts in no time if I allowed other user paths to all it to copy.

    I second this for the Mac environment too. I’d like to backup some files in Library>Audio> and I am currently unable to without copying and moving files which is inefficient and redundant. Cheers
