(" breach of the terms of service, and could result in your account being terminated.") Well, thank you for the threat @MuhammadAftab.

That is the part which is against the T&C's - and actually something they are now enforcing. I actually think Jay has got it a tad mixed up (note it was not MuhammadAftab so said it was against the T&C's) .
You could share the whole of your Dropbox with somebody if you so wanted to by simply putting everything in one folder and sharing that folder with the exception of folders like Apps and Camera Uploads which cannot be shared or moved.
Have a think about just creating a shared folder structure that is maybe called the people you share with and putting things in there - thats how I do it 🙂
