I have it copying individual folders using this method:
1. Sign in to dropbox.com.
2. Click Upload.
3. Click Files or Folder: If you choose Files, select as many files as you like and click Open. If you choose Folder, select a folder and click Upload.
Hope this helps.

Deb, if I do that, would that be without the damnable "sync" thing? When I first naively used Dropbox, the "sync" function caused my C drive to go from 90GB left to just 13GB! Somehow I was able to recover my lost GB (can't even remember now how I did that), then just disabled Dropbox, which is where I sit now, out $120.
I appreciate all the replies, but I'm still left wondering about the whole "sync" issue. I'll see if I can chat with someone from Dropbox.
