WHAAAAAT. I've been excited to get on board with the Dropbox Backup feature since leaving Onedrive behind.
I had a PERFECT use for it, to back up a folder buried in my Mac > Audio folder which contains hundreds of presets for music production. Its the default place that Mac installs them which really annoys me when moving between computers.

So ridiculous.
Edit: My god this is a useless backup feature. I just tried to make use of it somehow by backing up my download folder, but it gives me an error saying that my Dropbox sync folder has to be in its default location (which it isn't because I want it on another bigger SSD drive)
That settles it... in this bin it goes.
