I keep getting selective sync conflicts by Dropbox?
I have a major issue with sync conflicts at the moment, which i'm trying to resolve. Although what I find happening is that files are being moved by drop box into my private folder.
I've tested...

Okay, I will try.
In using Selective Sync, (as an example) you selected Folder B and Folder D. Once you selected those folders in the Selective Sync Settings, Those folders will disappear off your Dropbox folder. It will be in the cloud only.
Let's say you had the same files that were in Folder B and D somewhere backed up (outside of Dropbox folder) and place them inside the Dropbox folder. It will create conflicted copies. That is because it's supposed to be 'off' your HD (off from your Dropbox folder)
Now, this is the way I understood from your Post. Its possible and not inconceivable that I may not have understood the situation.
But does this sound what happened?

I too am having the same issue.
So fed up!
Nothing but conflicted folders in Dropbox.
I am thinking of dumping the whole platform - it that bad.
Waste of time and resources when all it has to do is NOT back up the conflicted files in my reasoning.

Can't believe this hasn't been worked out yet. It really is so frustrating and as a programmer I know how easy would be to add selective syncing with wild cards or being able to exclude folders starting with a dot or whatever is needed. Such a simple feature to add and so much back and forth for so many years, it is really disappointing. Too bad my company just renewed my yearly subscription as I'll definitely change service as this is really annoying. I just lost hours fixing a project that had hundreds of conflicted copies that prevented it from compiling. What a waste of time.
