Well, yes implemeting links between local and dropbox folders could be one thing and then you could add as many as you want. Then I will need to make a proper UI for the synchronization. So you can select what path/paths you want to sync. This would be nice, actually would be nice to select/deselect from all subfolders/subpaths of the sync in a UI before doing any loading, kind of a improved version of the dialog I now have.
For the camera thing being separate upload only section in the settings: the idea is to keep UI and usage for users simple as possible. What if a user does not know where his camera shots are in the phone? Granted its quite easy to find, but still. You just enable a checkbox, select a path from a list and your done in 2 secs.
The mentality "give the most freedom and give the possibility to do anything" is not always the best approach. I want the ui to be user friendly, easy to understand and use. Hard to use applications often get ignored so I am trying keep that in mind when implementing stuff. I could do this local-path-to-dropbox-path linking, its a good idea. But on the side simplify the camera upload with a simple ui.
