Is it possible to sync only some folders of Dropbox?

I have 5GB+ files on Dropbox cloud, but only want a few folders to be synced to my Galaxy Tab 7.7.

When were you able to do full sync with official Dropbox app?? – Sachin Shekhar Jul 31 '12 at 8:55

Like Sachin implied: as far as I know, the Dropbox app doesn't automatically sync the contents of any files except those that you mark as being a "favorite". – offby1 Jul 31 '12 at 13:59

Yes there's a way. It's called Foldersync. It allows you to set up folder pairs to sync and the full version even allows you to sync on changes. It also supports several other cloud services.

You could use a different account for the phone, and just share the folders you want to sync to the phone account.

Saw a down-vote, so perhaps it was not clear. It is quite easy to share files between Dropbox accounts.

Of course this is only relevant if you use a DropBox app that doesn't allow selective syncing. (There are many DropBox apps)
