Creating a Shortcut to a Dropbox Folder on the Mac

I read Chris Breen's blog on Automatically Adding File to Dropbox @ http://www.macworld.com/article/2020699/automatically-add-files-to-dropbox.html .  The only problem was that I could not get the keyboard shortcut to work.  In the process, I was introduced to Automator and the associated powerful features.  I also learned that I could drag a folder into the Finder Favorites list.  Finally, I learned that there are numerous hidden keyboard shortcuts.  For example:

• Command+D to duplicate
• Command+Shift+D to open the Desktop window which displays the Finder view

If you are using a Mac, take a few minutes to review the MANY keyboard shortcuts at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343.  You may find a few that would expedite your work.
