Under the "Backup" option in the dropbox app for Windows, currently theres an option to back up certain folders, such as Desktop, Music ... and so on.

Reason. My setup is
At D:\Data I have my personal folders and files
At D:\Dropbox\Data I have my personal folders and files, that is beeing sync. to my Dropbox online
I want this option under 'Backup' to be "Add custom folders" so I can backup D:\Data to D:\Dropbox\Data
Please allow us to choose any number of multiple folders on our computers. I would love to back up a folder on my one drive, another folder on my external drive, and you can see where this is going.
I sadly cancelled our business account which we were going to include for the entire group, because of this feature.
Dropbox is loosing market share to companies like one drive and google that can currently do this.

Limiting file back ups toDesktop, Documents and Downloads is dumb and make the entire point of the back up feature useless.
