Sync local folder with Dropbox

I scan documents and it goes to my specific folder in local machine.

I want my local folder to get in sync in the dropbox automatically.  So whenever I add a new scan in my local folder it should auto updates in Dropbox and can be accessible for other people who has the right to view it. 

Kindly help.

    Dropbox will only sync the files and folders that are located in your local Dropbox folder. Move your scan folder into your Dropbox folder and update your scanner to point to the new location of the folder.
