I currently have my MAMP htdocs folder within my Dropbox folder (so I can sync files for different workstations). I also have a client that isn't comfortable with having their files on Dropbox.
Anyone know if it's possible to exclude this one folder from Dropbox completely, even know it lives right there in the Dropbox folder? (Of course, moving the folder outside of Dropbox is easy enough, but then it's outside of my MAMP environment.)
Is it possible to set up an alias or something? Is there something really simple I'm missing here? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

You could try using the Selective Sync feature of Dropbox

I have implemented an antivirus system using ClamAV on one of my apps which uses Google cloud storage for uploading files.
Currently what I am doing is, listening to bucket upload, download it on one of my servers, scan it using ClamAV, and deleting it if it was infected.
I am a newbie to this, Is it possible that the whole cloud bucket gets infected by a virus on upload only.
i.e, can a virus execute himself on the bucket(any cloud bucket) itself?
If yes then please suggest some other solution to solve this issue as my current solution would be ineffective in this case.
Object Storage systems do not provide an execution framework hence an infected file cannot infect other files in the bucket.

12/27 i use stream install SCP:secret laboratory but 12/29 i turn on my notebook i find System64 and System and mono folder in my Notebook D Drive , I have uninstalled SCP:secret laboratory ,should i delete this three folder?
Yes, it should be safe to delete those folders. They are a requirement for SCP:SL.
If you're worried about breaking something, I would recommend moving the folders to see if something breaks (unlikely), and once you're sure everything is still OK, you can safely delete them.

So I was sharing a folder on Dropbox and decided to see its Folder Settings. I noticed then that some label text was missing from the form. It might just be me (Linux Mint), but can anyone tell me what these fields do?
The settings are similar to Dropbox for Business. But I wonder if it's just your browser not rendering it properly. You might try another browser to see. But to answer your question, the options are just share settings; who can be added, who can manage, and how links can be shared.
This is the only thing I see when I view a shared folder's settings. It seems that you have a Dropbox Team, which I don't have.

I already "crawled" the whole Dropbox API and I just cannot find any possibility to UNSHARE files and folders.
There is the feature to generate a link you can share with your friends and colleagues but is there a "unshare option"?
If you are talking about /shares, you are probably stuck moving the file in order to invalidate the given address, and if /fileops/move doesn't work, perhaps /fileops/copy and then /fileops/delete.
I asked in the dropbox's developer forum and they said that there is no option to unshare files and folders. The user MUST use the dropbox website for that.
Open the file using dropbox link generated and sign in to your dropbox account. You will find gear icon at the top of the page. click on the icon and then click remove link. Link to your file will be removed and file is no more shared. Hope this helps.

For our company I want to setup a file sharing service such as Dropbox but on our own servers for our corporate information.
It must be only available for employes of our company.
Please suggest me software package.
I suggest you try http://owncloud.org/.
That's what we use in my company and it is quite convenient to sync our working files (similar to what dropbox do), and to share files as well.
Have a look at arXshare (http://www.arxshare.com). You can install it on any server with PHP, it is easy to setup, and it does not require any database and is very lightweight. Furthermore, it does end-to-end encryption, so your shared files on the server are useless without your password.
