Setting selective sync of Dropbox on Amazon EC2 server

Dropbox provides an easy to backup the server. However, the default setting synchronizes all of the files to the server, which is very annoying.
I don't want all of my personal stuff to be stored in a public server.

In order to select the file which you would like to sync, download dropbox.py
and type the following commands in the terminal:
python dropbox.py exclude add ~/Dropbox/*
python dropbox.py exclude remove ~/Dropbox/<folder-to-sync> 

The first command excludes all of files from your dropbox.
The second one adds the folder which is going to be synchronized.
