Does anyone have experience using the new Dropbox feature with a (very) large Dropbox account? My concern is that I have thousands of PDFs in my Dropbox already. So I'm worried this will overwhelm the Kobo Forma. The instructions make it sound like it will attempt to sync every compatible file to the device. My Dropbox easily contains well over the 8GB capacity of my Forma.

Dropbox ordinarily gives a "selective sync" option so you can choose to only sync certain folders. However, it looks like the Kobo Forma won't actually be treated like a normal Dropbox device, so I'm assuming the selective sync feature won't be available.

Any information about your experiences with Dropbox on Forma would be helpful.
