Can we have more folder options like custom folders or sub-folders to add to Computer Backup?

I would also really like the ability to automatically backup any arbitrary folder. I do not personally use the Documents folder since putting my actual documents where a bunch of apps create various folders for their own purposes would disturb my sense of organization. I also have zero intention of working primarily from the Dropbox folder. I know where my important documents are and I just want to back up those locations.

Now Dropbox has the feature Computer backup to back up certain key folders on your computer, such as “Desktop”, “Documents”, and “Downloads”, to Dropbox. 

Great, now you cna not only move the files to the cloud but also keep the folder updated!

However I want to backup a folder that is not in the "key folder list" of DropBox. In fact, it is on a different harddisk in my PC.
Can you please add that feature?

The option to select any folder we would like to add to the backup feature is a must, in order to make the Backup feature a real deal.

# Update

Well, I have something more to add.

I just realised how the dropbox backup feature works - It moves the selected folder inside the DropBox folder. 

That's why when I was testing the feature for some folders, there were conflicts with other services like Google's Backup and Sync and iCloud Drive.

I wouldn't want to have my local folders all moved under the DropBox folder. I would prefer to be able to select specific folders and those would be simply backed up on Dropbox cloud. I would also like to be able to use the Backup feature alongside with my other backup services, so I can have my files backed-up on more than 1 locations.

So, the option to add more folders for the backup as it's currently implemented it's not what I want.

Hello. Id like the ability to auto backup a specific folder, not just the entire library. My current use case is that there is 1(!) folder within my downloads folder that I want to auto backup.

If I just backup that 1 folder it's 20gb but if I am forced to do the currently limited option of selecting the entire Downloads folder, it would rocket up to 48gb. 

Please add this functionality. Thanks in advance.

Dear Dropbox,

I would like this to go further and allow you to browse to back up a secondary hard drive. My primary hard drive is used for running complex software and a secondary hard drive is used for file storage. I would like to use the back up function to be able to clone this hard drive so if something happened to the computer I would always have the files stored safely with you!

Is there any update on this one? I would like to just select whatever folders I would like to backup using standard windows file/directory dialog. Perhaps even add them via context menu.

I second this. Is there an update? There are many of us who would like to backup any folder on our PCs/Macs, not just Documents or Desktop or Downloads. This should be simple enough, it is surprising that Dropbox has not enabled that feature so far. Thanks.

Just to drop back in and let people know: YES, there is a substantial update, in two important ways:

1. First, at least in Windows, you can now also add your Music, Pictures, and Videos folders to the set of folders to be backed up
2. Second, and just as important, Dropbox is now able to recognize Windows shell folders that have been properly moved as such, and back them up even if they are not in their default system locations. That is, as long as you have moved the shell folders (such as "Music", say), by using the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer, clicking on "Properties", and then going to the "Location" tab to set the new location, Dropbox will happily backup those folders no matter where they reside physically.

Thank you, but I had other folders in mind, nit the default ones such as Music, Pictures or Videos. Let's say that I have a folder called "Work" under C:\ - I am unable to add it to the Backup.

Yes, that is correct, those still cannot be added
