Automatic sync

Question

I have a database of publications with publisher subdirectories and issue sub-subdirectories on my desktop computer. I have duplicated this on Dropbox. When I add a new issue to my destop subdirectory, I must locate the specific database and publisher in Dropbox to put the new issue in the right place. Is there a way for Dropbox to know when I add to the desktop database and automatically sync the new file to the Dropbox subdirectory? I don't want to sync pictures, just zip files.

Solved, or at least made insignificant. My difficulty was searching for the specific spot in a multi-layered 20 + Gigabyte database, a significant effort when adding several magazines. It would take me up to 10 minutes to check if I already had a saved copy or needed to do an insert. My working solution was to individually check and place each addition in the primary database, the offsite back-up database and Dropbox. After some finagling I did a copy to from primary database to Dropbox as a whole. Dropbox's sort function tells me which files are already copied in a few seconds (less than 5 seconds even in a 30 + GB database) allowing me to choose to copy only the new file. Good program!
