Manage Stricter App Permissions

I use various third party apps that sync files to dropbox (or scan folders for things like media files). These apps have edit permission to my ENTIRE account, even though they really only need access to one folder. I want to be able to specify which folders I grant access to for an app. Giving full access is a terrible security practice - even if I trust the app developers not to abuse it, if their app is compromised, that doesn't matter.

I realize that apps can request access to only a specific folder, but most do not do this. They ask for everything, because it's easier. As a user, I should be able to restrict what they're given when I grant access and accept the consequences of app instability if I take away something it wants. Even if apps apply bad security practices, DropBox has the power to enforce better ones, and should do so.
