I'm considering upgrading my Dropbox but I'm a bit concerned with my ability to sync selective folders. I understand the selective sync feature and this is great since my laptop hard drive cannot hold all the items I would store in Dropbox. But when I select NOT to download a folder to my laptop, that folder disappears from my Dropbox folder in my Finder window. I know it is available via the website but I don't interact with Dropbox via the website. I really enjoy and need to be able to work through the Finder. Is it possible for placeholder icons for folder or documents to be placed in the sync folder so I can at least see an index and have a reference for what is stored in my Dropbox account? Then, if I click on an item it can be downloaded. I tested this with my free account and certain files/folders simply disappeared. This doesn't work at all for my needs as it forces me to use the website. The whole point of my choosing Dropbox was due to the sync folder. Please consider adding this feature to selective sync so the desktop client shows undownloaded items. If I'm forced to use the website, then other services become better options.
