Shortcut to selective sync for quicker access

in our organization we use the selective syns within preferences in the dropbox app, quite frequently.

 

We were wondering if there would be a way to assign a shortcut key or create a script or a macro, so we could be able with one click to enter:

 

dropbox app> initials > preferences > sync > choose folders 

 

We were looking to AI which suggested a powershell script but that doesn´t seem that practical since it would have to be modified constantly and that we would have to know before hand, what the folders are named

    I just wanted to mention that there's no way to do this at this time - thank you for your feedback on this!

      Another vote for faster, direct access to selective sync settings. So cumbersome in current implementation. Make it easy, Dropbox. How about from browser view of a DB folder, a quick way to enable/disable SS on the desktop?
