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 Jeff_S1; welcome aboard and thanks for using Dropbox!

Just to make sure we're on the same page, can you please let me know if you're fully synced on this machine by running the status command?

Keep us posted!

    No, I have not fully synced.  that would take more than 10TB of data, of which I only need about 600GB (the one deep folder).  I'm trying to avoid that huge, unneeded sync.  So, this is a new, empty machine, that I've installed dropbox.py and activated - but has not synced.
