Just cd to the directory where you want the simlink to be then do ln -s and the path of the folder. Do this int he cmd prompt. Just don't cut the simlink any ware in the dropbox folder or you will loose everything. I did that once. and had to restore it. not fun. But that will save space in your dropbox folder and you will only have 1 copy on your local drive. Just make sure you have your space in the cloud part of dropbox as it will upload even though it looks like you have 10 kb in the folder you will in truth have the amount of data you upload.
Hoep this helps.
