http://serverfault.com – I'm trying to set up backup using Dropbox on my server. I got Dropbox installed and it works great. It's currently syncing the whole account and I don't want that.

I need to only "include" a single folder, which isn't an existing feature in Dropbox CLI. In other words I'd like to only sync a single folder.

Dropbox is a nifty little application that lets you sync and share files on the Internet and between several computers. Want to send a movie to a friend? Use Dropbox. Want to have a common folder for pictures that you and your girlfriend can update on different computers? Use Dropbox. The problem with Dropbox is that you can’t share entire folders.
