It would be great if we can customize a specific DropBox directory to be monitored.

Use case:  
Flow A would be interested in files located in the directory `/backup` .  
Flow B would be interested in files located in the directory `/pictures` .

Currently, the DropBox node throws an event for a file chance in any directory.  
Thanks!

Sorry, it's possible to specify the file pattern, hence the directory can be part of it!
