Yeah, I understand ways to work around it.. it's more of why isn't it a feature? In SugarSync, Carbonite and Moxy I can quite literally do:

right click -> Sync Folder (or some variation thereof)

and it just works.

Because where are you going to put it on the other computers? So far dropbox has decided it's not worth the complication.

What you want is two clicks plus a confirmation popup and/or wizard. Moving a folder and making a shortcut is two drags and one extra click. It's not a big deal.

and it just works.
