The problem with the proposed solution of moving them to an unsynchronized folder is that sometimes I might want to access them on the mobile device. If the folder is unsynchronized then - correct me if I'm wrong - I won't be able to download the individual file, without first resyncing the folder, and then waiting while dropbox downloads every file in that folder.
