Locate the local storage for your AOL mail, highlight the folder and right-click on it.
From the pop-up menu, choose “Sync with Dropbox”. Job done.

This add-on for Dropbox is excellent for adding folders to Dropbox without moving them into the dropbox itself. It does it by creating a Junction (special kind of shortcut) to them at the top level of the dropbox folder, so that they apppear to be in the dropbox despite having another “native” location.

It will actually put in on the local machine, but you can easily move the file to Dropbox or another cloud storage solution as well. I have not been able to find an equivalent Mac solution, but if you dual boot your machine or run Windows in a virtual machine, you can still go with this program.
