You can sync a folder in dropbox without pasting that folder into your Dropbox syncing folder.
So here it goes how .
For Windows
1. open the command prompt
2. type mklink /D yourDropBoxSyncLocation\linked_folder folder_tobelink
eg ::
command :: mklink /D C:\Users\"Rahul Kumar"\Dropbox\linkedMusic C:\Users\"Rahul kumar"\Music
ers\Rahul kumar\Music
For Linux
1. Make a link of the folder{folder-Right Click-Make Link} which you want to sync .
2. Cut-Paste this linked folder into the Dropbox
3. You are all done. {See above -the folder is a just a link -But Content will be synced into this folder }

I am a Linux user but i'd just thought I'd mention that the "mklink /D" command line command on Windows works in the same way the terminal command for your instructions ("ln -s") works, so it is possible - you just need to know your way around the command line.
