Dropbox is an awesome sync application, and one which gets a lot of love from techy types. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems and the 2GB of free cloud storage is enough room to handle all kinds of useful and important files you need to be able to access from anywhere.
Until now, one knock against Dropbox was the limited choice you had with your Dropbox folder. You could choose where you wanted the base location to be, but that's it -- everything inside was synced to the cloud. In today's experimental build, selective sync has finally been added. Now you can head to your Dropbox preferences window, click the advanced icon, and press selective sync to tell Dropbox to stop syncing any subfolders you wish!
Yes, at last you can set your 'My Dropbox' location to your home folder (like C:\Users\Me\My Dropbox) and sync only the nested folders of your choosing. It's another great addition to an already great app.
To take the new version for a test run, download the Dropbox experiemental build from the forum post.
