Cannot select folders in my PC for Dropbox Backup (beta version)

I can only select three folders (Desktop, documents, and download) from my PC for Dropbox Backup, but those are not the ones I would like to backup. How can I select other folders in my computer? The QA on the website does not help.

    The Backup feature can be used to backup your key folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads) and external drives you plug in, but it doesn't allow you to select folders from other locations.
