If you don't have any dropbox folder before, no warning dialog box would open.
Choose whether you want to sync all folder or just selective folder.

Interesting program. But do you know what a drop box actually is? I'm just curious because a dropbox is actually placed somewhere, typically in a person's driveway, where the person can easily dump garbage in. Say you had a flood in your basement and needed to gut everything out, you would need a dropbox for this to get done more quickly. Once finished the drop box service in Portland or wherever you are at will take the thrown-out materials and dispose of them "properly." Some are now looking at recycling materials, others just send them to designated dumps before eventually shipped overseas to a(n) unfortunate country. In any case, to never be seen again by the original owner. the name just doesn't seem to fit to me is all.
