Sync dropbox across multiple locations/hard drives
I have a larger dropbox account than my primary hard drive. It would be great if dropbox could support virtual links to files outside of it's default location, without those files having to also be i...

Just adding my support to this request; I feel like this is an essential feature given the nature of how many (most?) people use Dropbox; especially those with higher data allowances (1TB+) and given the nature of most laptops, having less native storage than that. Working from one or more external drives, and having important files spread between multiple locations that need to remain separate is very common, especially for those working with media files.
For example, photographers having a smaller 'working directory' with a project they're currently working on, as well as any cataloging/image-library information, stored on a laptop's native drive, that is most likely significantly smaller than 1TB, and then a separate external drive with other projects (both past work, and work that hasn't made it through the editing stage yet). Both of these locations are important to have backups of and unless there is a native solution I haven't found or figured out yet, it is impossible to do without two backup solutions or sketchy workarounds.
I have Dropbox Pro (1TB) now, and get around this issue by also using Google to back up the 'working' directories, but frankly this is a ridiculous solution, and as soon as I can consolidate backup solutions, I will. So far, I prefer Dropbox's interface and handling over Google's, so I hope that you're the first to offer this, but sooner is far better than later!
