I've also put up a short guide (and "disclaimer") in this thread a while ago:

Thanks for the feedback.

I am still hoping for a way to do it within the software, something as "easy" as just being able to say that the data should be stored in folder X instead of Y (where X is a Dropbox folder) would be great.

Another option that's arisen over the past year is BitTorrent Sync. It's free, and doesn't use any cloud services at all for your data, just BitTorrent protocol between whatever devices you set up. It allows you to keep individual files or entire folders synchronized among multiple devices, which means you don't have to set up symbolic links or anything. It won't solve the problems that other solutions such as DropBox have that can occur if the same file is opened on multiple devices, but if there's a conflict it'll notify you.
