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"...

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?

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.
