sync only one folder on linux

I have a huge dropbox business account, and I'd like to sync one "deep" folder on a linux client.  This folder is deep in the folder hierarchy, so for example the folder: "folder 1/folder 2/folder 3"...

Hey sydsyd, have you tried pausing syncing and then resuming it after having excluded the folders you don't want to be synced to your device?

Tried 'Pause Syncing'.

Tried limiting download bandwidth to 1.0kb.

Still hard disk is full and dropbox knows it is full.

Will not work on removing excluded folders and files first!

Need a way to prioritize the exclude operations over syncing new files.
