If I hear Dropbox support suggest "selective sync" one more time I'm gonna lose it (and lose all hope).

Dear Dropbox support and Dropbox support bots. Do not just "pass it on to the development team".

We want to know if this is ever going to be done and if yes when and if no we know it's time to start using alternatives. So everybody here can get back to working instead of worrying about their workflows.
