Just use Selective Sync: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/175


I don't know if you read the post, but he says:

> Right now the only way to do that would be to put something in the box, then turn off Selective Sync everywhere for that folder. (Or upload files via Dropbox’s web interface, to a folder that’s been unchecked on all your devices via Selective Sync.)

> It’s not ideal. Selective Sync wasn’t meant to be used in that way… but for that matter, neither was Dropbox.

I think his gripe is the core premise of dropbox — file syncing — isn't the same as 1TB backup.


It really helps to read the article - this is discussed.
