I was worried about this as well in he event I purchase an MBA. I also cannot find any way of selecting folders to sync. I do not know if you can get extra options if you do a physical control click with the Trackpad. My backup strategy if I do get an MBA is to locate my DropBox folder on a small pocket sized Buffalo type drive. I got a couple of 512 GB ones a few years ago and they seemed reasonably robust even though they did not need a power supply so hopefully even larger capacity ones of similar small size are available now. My other plan was to just put a link to www,dropbox.com on the desktop for emergency access in the case I do not have the external with me.
